Excerpts of a discussion at a meeting on December 3, 1997 of the Finance Committee of the Cayman Islands Legislative Assembly in which opposition members raised the delicate matter of whether the UK government had asked Cayman to begin recognizing fiscal offences in its mutual legal assistance laws.
