Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 September 2026

Debate

International Financial Fraud

Contribution

My Lords, I want to return to the question of the overseas territories, recognising the difference between Tristan da Cunha and the Cayman Islands, other than merely the question of lobsters. I speak as a member of the Constitution Committee, where we have urged the overseas territories time and again to come up with bilateral compacts, recognising the differences between the territories and allowing us to judge progress or otherwise in each of them according to their own lights. The slowness of reports coming forward is proverbial, and I wonder if my noble friend the Minister can inject some energy into that process.
