This bill would require the recoverable amount set in a confiscation order to be treated as part of a person’s custodial sentence. If that recoverable amount is not paid, the failure to pay would become a criminal offence. The aim is to strengthen how confiscation orders are enforced and deter non-payment by offenders.
The bill is at the Second Reading stage in the House of Commons; it has not yet advanced to later stages.
