To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make it her policy to publish where funds from the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 are distributed.

The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 enables law enforcement agencies to deprive criminals of their money, or other property connected to criminal activity, and recover the proceeds of crime.

Recovered criminal proceeds can subsequently be returned in compensation to victims (following criminal conviction) or reinvested for use in tackling crime through the Asset Recovery Incentivisation Scheme (ARIS) and ARIS ‘Top Slice’ grant.

Information on both victim compensation and ARIS can be found in the data tables within the Asset Recovery Statistical Bulletin, which is published annually by the Home Office. Data on victim compensation can be found in tab 2 and data on ARIS allocations and money allocated to Top Slice projects can be found in tabs 12 - 14 within the published data tables which can be found here: Asset recovery statistics, financial years ending 2019 to 2024: Data Tables.
