Sanctions

Proceeding contribution from Stephen Doughty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 March 2022. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Sanctions.

I am sure that the Minister will say that we are not naming individuals to give them advance warning, but the right hon. Member for East Antrim (Sammy Wilson) is absolutely right to bring up the fear of asset flight, as several hon. Members have done. We have already heard rumours today that a number of people are trying to dispose of assets and move money. I hope that the Government will name and shame the law firms and accountants who are facilitating that; they are the same enablers who have facilitated the illicit finance network and propped up the Putin regime for

far too long in this country. Quite frankly, those law and accountancy firms and others involved should be ashamed of themselves.
