The UK is expected to sign a deal to recover lost tax from Britons holding bank accounts in Liechtenstein.

Up to 5,000 British investors have an estimated Â£3bn stashed away in secret accounts in the country.

Hopefully we can negotiate with other countries to retrieve money and put it to 'good use'.
