If you are really interested I set out the full exposition in committee in the #SAML Bill in March. It's all on the record in Hansard.

Its a serious question though. There are a lot of inflated expectations on this topic https://www.cgdev.org/publication/can-stopping-tax-dodging-multinational-enterprises-close-gap-development-finance …. The idea that beneficial ownership registers in the OTs will bring in 10bn a year to the UK is a new one. Do you think its true (where is it from?) or was it a mistake?
My guess is possibly from here? http://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Documents/TaxHavenCostTRLLP.pdf … (although this isn't an estimate of the revenue impact of BO registers in the OTs, and is not taken seriously as an estimate of UK offshore revenue losses)

Possibly. But I don't recall seeing it cited or mentioned in the debate, unlike work from Christian Aid. So still an open point?

Indeed. I just don't want @HelenGoodmanMP to think I am expecting her to be my research assistant! She must know where she got the figure from and I hope she clarifies (or corrects if it was just a mistake). We've looked in Hansard. Its not there.
