"The Serious Crime Bill, currently before Parliament, includes measures to improve the seizure and confiscation of criminals’ assets, including the merging of the Assets Recovery Agency with the Serious Organised Crime Agency. This will create a more effective law enforcement agency with a wider range of skills and expertise. We believe that this detailed Action Plan, and in particular the proposals for new powers and enhancements that are contained within it, will take us even further and faster in our quest. At the heart of our strategy is the reduction of harm caused by crime, making clear the message that crime must not pay and criminal gains will be vigorously pursued. We must not relent in our fight to this end."
