Domestic Politically Exposed Persons: Money Laundering Rules

Debate between Charles Walker and Karl McCartney

Wednesday 20th January 2016 Commons Chamber

[Karl MᶜCartney (Lincoln) (Con)]

My hon. Friend is making an excellent speech. Can he tell us whether every bank and every Back Bencher has been affected? I ask because, at present, one party seems to be, shall we say, over-represented in the Chamber.

[Mr Walker]

Colleagues are naturally reluctant to talk about the issue, but I can tell my hon. Friend that this applies to every bank, although some are worse offenders than others. The banks that I have come across are HSBC, Lloyds, the Halifax and Barclays, but there will be others.
