Part of Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Bill [Lords] – in the House of Commons at 2:30 pm on 1 May 2018.
In 2009, we gave the people of the Cayman Islands a solemn pledge in this House. We said, “We will not legislate for you in these areas of public responsibility without your consent.” By this measure today, we are breaking that promise to them, and it is beneath the dignity of this Parliament to do away with that promise and that pledge of good faith.
