EDWARDS REPORT ON JERSEY, GUERNSEY AND THE ISLE OF MAN
Early day motion 149A1, tabled 12 January 1999 by Teddy Taylor (Conservative). Signed by 4 members.
leave out from 'Man' to end, and add 'notes that the report concludes that the Islands are in the top division of offshore centres, with high standards and controls; notes that the United Kingdom benefits substantially from the ú300 billion of funds managed in the islands; and urges any critics to read the report thoroughly before engaging in unfounded criticisms which might simply result in the funds being transferred to less effective and less stable centres elsewhere.'.
