Mr David Davis (Haltemprice and Howden) (Con)
Everybody will wholeheartedly support the Prime Minister’s sanctions against, hopefully, all 140 Russian oligarchs who support Putin and against all the major banks. The Prime Minister described Russia as a pariah state. He is right, because it has broken international criminal law on a major scale. Can we implement our view of the pariah state by ensuring that everybody involved in that decision, if they leave Russia to go abroad, faces international criminal sanctions wherever they go?
The Prime Minister
I thank my right hon. Friend and that is exactly what we can now do thanks to the measures this House has passed.
