UK MP calls on Island to tackle 'dirty money'

A Tory MP has called on the Isle of Man to take action over "dirty money" before Britain hosts a G20 summit next year.

Sir Andrew Mitchell, who represents Sutton Colefield, named Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man during a House of Commons debate about an illicit finance summit.

He said all three Crown dependencies needed to make specific, time-bound commitments about beneficial ownership registers before the G20 meets in 2027.

And he added "The scale of dirty money going through London, the overseas territories and the Crown dependencies is absolutely appalling".
