  • The government has just appointed a former Labour MP to be the anti-corruption champion. Baroness Margaret Hodge, who now sits in the Lords, will fill the position which has been vacant since June 2022.

The UK government has appointed a new anti-corruption champion, marking the first such appointment since 2022. This role, now held by a senior minister, aims to enhance the government's efforts in combating corruption both domestically and internationally. The appointment comes in response to increasing concerns over corruption, highlighted by various reports and the need to restore public trust in governmental transparency and integrity. The new champion will work across departments to ensure robust anti-corruption measures are in place, coordinate with international bodies, and push forward the UK's anti-corruption strategy. This move is part of a broader initiative to tackle issues like money laundering, bribery, and fraud, which have been identified as significant threats to economic stability and democratic governance.
