From the BBC.

David Cameron is coming under pressure to stop British overseas territories and Crown dependencies being used by the wealthy to reduce their tax bills.

A massive data leak from Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca showed it registered more than 100,000 secret firms to the British Virgin Islands.

Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn said the government needed to "stop pussyfooting around" on tax dodging.
