Criminal Finances Bill

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

I would like to make progress. I will not take any more interventions, because I am still at the very beginning of my speech and the Whips are telling me that they want me to conclude.

The question is not, “Can we do this?” but, “Is it right to do this?” It will come as no surprise that I think that the answer is yes. The Government’s White Paper made it clear that when the law is not working, or there has been a breakdown in order—corruption was mentioned —the UK has the power to act.
