Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hodge of Barking (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 March 2023. It occurred during Backbench debate on Russian Assets: Seizure.


Russian Assets: Seizure

I join the right hon. Gentleman in welcoming the Ukrainian MPs who are with us today. A letter has been sent by 45 Ukrainian MPs to our Prime Minister urging him to do precisely what we want, which is not to freeze assets but to seize them. Given that support from the Ukrainian Parliament, does he not agree that there is now an urgent need for the Government to be bold and to act?
