I made my maiden speech as the new MP for Kensington & Bayswater on day two of the Kingâs Speech debate. Our community makes a huge contribution to national life - but we must tackle the deep inequality that holds back the potential of far too many. https://t.co/TafZoXP8A7

New month, new update. For the first time since its launch, the UK's Register of Overseas Entities (ROE) now contains declarations for over 30,000 overseas entities. The majority of overseas entities are registered in the British Virgin Islands, Jersey and the Isle of Man.
