Lord Mayor of London Michael Oliver, on an official visit to South Africa, told the FT Britain was one of the slowest countries to react to requests for help from overseas authorities.
While on his visit, Oliver was told that police officers and bank financial regulators in Johannesburg had to wait months, and in one case two years for help from UK authorities.
