Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Sheila Gilmore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 July 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.

Did my hon. Friend spot the illogicality in the position of the hon. Member for Dover (Charlie Elphicke), who made an impassioned claim to be a scourge of tax avoiders, but is in effect endorsing tax avoidance by arguing that we have to reduce the rate of tax because so many people are trying to avoid it? Would it not be better to look at ways of preventing people from avoiding tax?
