The vast swathes of land in England and Wales controlled by British billionaires living in tax havens are revealed today by a Times investigation.

In total, more than 8,000 plots are owned or leased by 28 British billionaires who live in or are moving to tax havens, and their companies. They cover 120,000 acres and include ports and airports, Premier League football stadiums and London landmarks.
