That this House has considered the Illicit Finance Summit 2026.
It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Sir Roger. I am delighted to have secured this debate on the illicit finance summit 2026, although it might be more accurate to say that we are …..." Steff Aquarone - View Speech
"A quick recap: a gentle jibe at the Minister, a sharp poke at Reform and a commitment to doing my bit in helping the Government with a few ideas that might constitute a successful summit.

"I start by acknowledging the dedication to public service of all who serve and have served or who support those in our armed forces and our wider defence industry.
