Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 June 2025

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

In my constituency of Kensington and Bayswater, from Earl’s Court Road to Queensway, Notting Hill Gate and Portobello Road, residents and small business owners are fed up with the proliferation of suspicious, cash-intensive businesses such as candy stores, low-grade souvenir shops, Harry Potter shops and barbershops. These businesses are more than just an eyesore; I hear persistent concerns about VAT evasion, rates avoidance, and even troubling links to serious organised crime and money laundering.
