Debate
Industry and Exports (Financial Assistance) BillContribution
None of that has been brought forward, but we have an opportunity with this Bill, so I do not apologise for tabling the amendments. The Bill may be narrowly focused on an institution that has made mistakes in the past, which we have evidence of—funnelling UK tax moneys into pockets of human-rights-abusing companies in China. That surely must stop. If we are to bring this element of financing up to date and provide for the powers and capacity needed to support those who are exporting and importing, we must make sure that it is done in a fair and clean way.
