In 2018, the Home Office commissioned the Law Commission of England and Wales to review the entirety of its confiscation regime and make recommendations for legal reform. The confiscation regime is the statutory framework for stripping convicted criminals of the proceeds of their crimes.

In November 2022, the Law Commission published its final review of the confiscation regime. The report contains 119 recommendations for reform.
