Extract from Commons statement on EU Exit Negotiations - Nov 15

The Prime Minister will be aware that the main financial backer of Brexit, Mr Arron Banks, is now under criminal investigation by the National Crime Agency because of serious doubts about the true source of the money he spent on the leave campaign. Did the Prime Minister, when she was Home Secretary in 2016, decline a request from the security services for Mr Banks to be investigated?

I say to the right hon. Gentleman that of course we do not comment in this House on individual criminal investigations that take place.
