Foreign Influence Registration Scheme: Prosecutions

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many instances of breaches of the Foreign Influence Registration Scheme have resulted in prosecutions.

Answer

The FIRS scheme went live on 01 July last year. We will be publishing an annual report setting out, among other things, the number of registrations, the number of information notices issued, the number of persons charged with an offence and the number of persons convicted of an offence. The first report will be published as soon as practicable after 30 June 2026.

Providing information outside of that publication schedule about any live cases or prosecutions risks revealing information not intended to be made public and undermining any enforcement action.
