Criminal Finances Bill

Proceeding contribution from Stephen Doughty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 February 2017. It occurred during Debate on bills on Criminal Finances Bill.

Does my right hon. Friend agree that there is a conflict here? On the one hand, different Labour and Conservative Governments have been very sensible in supporting tax systems and tax authorities in many developing countries. However, if transparency of information—on companies, how they are incorporated and so on—is not available, even if we are giving them support, they cannot get to the bottom of where their taxes are actually going.
