Lord Grimstone of Boscobel
My Lords, as a previous banker, I abhor illicit finance working its way through the City. It benefits nobody, and no respectable City firm would want to touch it. At every opportunity, I will certainly raise the points that have just been made.
Baroness Smith of Newnham (LD) [V]
My Lords, the Library’s note to us suggests that of UK services’ trade with Russia in 2019, the fifth largest item in imports and exports was government services. Will the Minister tell us what government services were provided to Russia?
Lord Grimstone of Boscobel
My Lords, I am afraid that I do not have the fine print on that with me, so, if I may, I will write to the noble Baroness.
