Proceeding contribution from Baroness Williams of Crosby (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 May 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on European Union Bill.

European Union Bill

I hope that I may suggest a response to the noble Lord. One example that we on this Bench have discussed is the growing incidence of piracy, which might stop a great deal of traffic passing through the Red Sea and affect the interests of our country and of others. Secondly, in the immediate aftermath of the freezing of assets of a number of non-democratic leaders following the Arab spring, money laundering might be regarded as an urgent issue.
