Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Stephen Metcalfe and John Glen

Tuesday 2nd November 2021 Commons Chamber

[The Economic Secretary to the Treasury (John Glen)]

The Government are committed to making the UK a hostile place for illicit finance and economic crime and ensuring that all donations to political parties comply with the legislation that the Labour party enacted in Government. We have taken tough action through our No Safe Havens strategy to ensure that the correct UK tax is paid. Our landmark 2019 economic crime plan builds on that, and we will continue to work on these matters.

[Stephen Metcalfe (South Basildon and East Thurrock) (Con)]
