00:00The idea that the role of Special Trade Envoy for our United Kingdom may have been used to help him
00:05do that,
00:06to help a vile paedophile sex trafficker enrich himself, is truly sickening.
00:11Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor shamed our country and the royal family.
00:17But for too long, Members of Parliament were barred from even raising criticism of him,
00:23let alone properly scrutinising his role as Trade Envoy.
00:27Because of the outdated tradition, the mentions of any member of the royal family in this House must,
00:32in the words of the previous Speaker, be, and I quote,
00:35very rare, very sparing and very respectful.
00:39Today we must begin to clean away that stain with the disinfectant of transparency.
00:45Because whether it is the President of the United States and his Commerce Secretary,
00:50or Peter Mandelson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, or Epstein himself,
00:54their victims and survivors have seen those responsible evade accountability and escape justice for far too long.
01:02I hope, I desperately hope, that is ending now, and I hope the House will approve this motion.
