debate on Brexit: Customs and Borders
(Cardiff South and Penarth)
(Lab/Co-op): My hon. Friend is being very generous in

European Union.

listening to their voices.

through IT in financial services, and I know so many

experienced social mobility as a result of what banking,
insurance, asset management and wealth management offered them.
Credit makes the world go round, and we need to ensure that that
is at the heart of our strategy as a country and for our economy
as a whole...
