Lanka and Tunisia." He said foreign firms with properties in the UK will be compelled to declare their assets publicly in a bid to stamp out money-laundering, adding that a register will be opened for foreign companies owning UK property and those seeking to buy.Cameron said the register would mean “corrupt individuals and countries will no longer be able to move, launder and hide illicit funds through London’s property market, and will not benefit from our public funds.”He said foreign companies owned about 100,000 property in England and Wales and that more than 44,000 of these were in London.The Prime Minister further stated that people in developing countries wanted justice as much as they needed clean water and health care.
