This is yet more evidence of the chaos at the heart of the Conservative Party – Nick Thomas-Symonds

Nick Thomas-Symonds MP, Labour’s Shadow Solicitor General, responding to
calls from senior Tories to drop a key manifesto pledge to scrap the Serious
Fraud Office, said:

“This is yet more evidence of the
chaos at the heart of the Conservative Party.

“Good corporate governance is essential
to the UK’s reputation at home and abroad; the Serious Fraud Office plays a
vital part in this and should not be cast aside.

“Senior Tories are right to be alarmed
at Theresa May’s attempt to undermine the fight against big-ticket economic
crime. She urgently needs to think again.”
