Get their gp consultation via video calls on their smartphone. Good morning. Its monday, 6th november. Im annita mcveigh. Welcome to bbc newsroom live. The people who manage the queens finances have defended their investment practices after the revelation that some of her wealth has been placed in two offshore funds. It follows a huge new leak of financial documents, dubbed the Paradise Papers, revealing how the rich and powerful invest their money in tax havens around the world. My colleague ben brown has been looking into the details. It is one of the biggest leaks of off shore data in history. The documents have been obtained by the german paper sud deutsche zeitung, but shared with International Investigative journalists including the bbcs panorama. There are 13. 4 million documents in all. Theyve been called the Paradise Papers because many of the off Shore Financial centres they involve are in the caribbean. Mostly theyre from the leading offshore law firm appleby. It says the leak is in fact an illegal computer hack. The documents reveal the off shore tax secrets of dozens of the richest and most powerful people in the world billionaires, World Leaders and celebrities. Tax avoidance is not unlawful, but it is controversial. Critics say that inevitably offshore havens promote secrecy but its only tax evasion thats illegal. Our economics correspondent andy verity has more on the revelations of the Paradise Papers and the reaction to them. Bermuda. Where the law firm at the heart of the biggest leak in offshore history, appleby, has its head office. The queen is the the head of state here but until now we did not know that some of her private money was invested in tax havens like this one. The duchy of lancaster, the private Investment Vehicle for the queen, put £10 million, a small fraction of its overall investments, in offshore funds with 7. 5 million of that in one fund in the cayman islands. In 2007, it was asked to put £350,000 into investment projects including the purchase of two retailers. The controversial rent to own retailer which was recently forced to compensate a quarter of a million customers. I am pretty furious with those who advise her and that are bringing her reputation into disrepute. It is so obvious that if you are looking after the money of the monarchy, you have got to be cleaner than clean and you must never go near the dirty world of money laundering, tax avoidance, tax evasion or making money in dubious ways. We were told that all of the investments were fully audited and legitimate. The documents also reveal that Donald Trumps commerce secretary, wilbur ross, has business links with russian allies of vladimir putin. Mr ross has a secret stake in a shipping Company CalledNavigator Holdings. One of its major clients is a Russian Energy company. The associate of vladimir putin, Gennady Timchenko is a shareholder, and sanctioned by the us government. Mr ross told us none of the funds he managed ever had a majority of navigator shares. More revelations are to come. Lets speak now to our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. The queens finance is on the front pages of the newspapers today. The revelations that some of the money has been invested offshore. What is the reaction . From Buckingham Palace, nothing. The palace is known for some days that that is coming, but they have failed to utter a single syllable, other at the palace is known for some days that that is coming, but they have failed to utter a single syllable, other to point out that the queens officials have been defending the investment practices, they havent. 0ther have been defending the investment practices, they havent. Other than the duchy of lancaster is throwing a statement saying that all of her investments are legitimate. This is on every front page in this country andi on every front page in this country and i would imagine it is also having an impact overseas. So far there has been nothing from the duchy of lancaster or from Buckingham Palace. 0ne duchy of lancaster or from Buckingham Palace. One will imagine that there are meetings taking place and perhaps something will emerge later in the day. This cannot be helpful in terms of the overall reputation of somebody who has been so reputation of somebody who has been so scrupulous, who has been known for so many years for setting an impeccable example in every aspect of her life. One question that can be on this occasion is how much oversight was there from the council of the duchy of lancaster, the council that is the body that would have had overall oversight of the investment strategy. To what extent was that oversight taken through and applied to the Investment Managers who will have gone away and perhaps we re who will have gone away and perhaps were left to make these Investment Decisions without any proper scrutiny or proper advice from either Buckingham Palace with the duchy as to what would be appropriate for the head of state to be investing in . Thank you. So how does the world of off shore finance work and if you want to keep your money away from prying eyes, how do you do it . Ive been taking a look. Step one, create a company in the only, no and also as a shell company. Step two, dated somewhere offshore. A short time ago, the Prime Minister said the government had already taken steps to tackle the issue. There is already work that is being done to ensure that we see Greater Transparency in our dependencies and british 0verseas territories and we continue to work with them. Hmrc is already able to see more information about the ownership of Shell Companies for example so they can ensure that people are paying their attacks. We want people to pay the tax that is due. Labour has renewed its call for a Public Inquiry into tax avoidance. Jeremy corbyn says the documents prove there is one rule for the rich and another for the rest when it comes to paying tax. Shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell said he was shocked, but not surprised by the revelations. What this government has been doing, food is dragging its feet on this, particularly about the publication of the beneficiaries of trusts. That is one of the issues that i think we need to bear down upon mark. We a lwa ys need to bear down upon mark. We always need to be ahead of the game thatis always need to be ahead of the game that is why we need a public enquiry into tax avoidance in this country. Now is the time after these revelations. Now is the time after these revelations. The liberal democrat leader, sir vince cable, says its a bizarre anomaly that britain is still responsible for a number of territories which operate as tax havens where large sums of money that would otherwise go to the British Treasury are siphoned off to somewhere else. But thats been rejected by the premier of bermuda, david burt. Bermuda has a world class reputation of having a robust regulatory regime. We have Tax InformationExchange Agreements with 114 treaty partners. That means that International Tax of 30 to variable to request information on anyone doing business in bermuda at any point of time. That was the premier of bermuda.

The woman, whose identity is being protected, told the bbc she was assured by commons officials that it would be passed on to senior Party Figures but now says her report was not taken seriously. When youve seen so much happen, and nothing happen on all of those occasions as well, its arrogant to assume that i would be treated any differently, that my claim would be anything that stood out. Im a number, a name, nota person. Im just an allegation, probably one of many. And theres no importance attached to those. It only becomes important when it becomes a problem, and it becomes a problem when its picked up by the media. Joining us now from westminster is our assistant political editor, norman smith.

Are they going to be more allegations, mr green . Argued going to stand down mr green . There are an awful lot of ideas floating around about what the powers of this new body should be. It seems like Andrea Leadsom is poised to carry out some sort of review of subsidised alcohol at westminster because part of the growing view at westminster is that alcohol is central to much of the Sexual Harassment claims, so there will be a look at that. Another aerial that will be live that is the employment of staff. There is a view that it should not be left to individual mps to recruit their staff and instead it should be taken out of their hands and given to an independent body. That idea is being put forward by the head of the expenses watchdog. Lets look at the status quo. We have 3500 staff who are employed by mps.
