Proceeding contribution from Bob Seely (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 March 2022. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Sanctions.


Sanctions

I appreciate all that my right hon. and learned Friend is doing, but we are talking about the cronies and not the institutions as well. The hon. Member for Rhondda (Chris Bryant) is right; I do not see why we cannot just use privilege in this House to name some of the three dozen “dirty oligarchs”. Why can we not use privilege? What law firms and lawyers are holding this up? How much money—how many billions of pounds—will have fled the country by the time we nail these people down?
