Contribution

One of those others is the former leader of the Conservative Party, Sir Iain Duncan Smith. For the record, I remind the House that Sir Iain and I, along with five other parliamentarians including the noble Baroness, Lady Kennedy of The Shaws, have been sanctioned by the Chinese Communist Party regime.
