Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Kerry McCarthy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 July 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.

My hon. Friend is doing a good job of spelling out the sheer ludicrousness of countries losing more by profits being put into tax havens than they are given in aid. I am sure that she is aware of the recent ActionAid report, which mentions a single transaction made through UK-linked tax havens that would have provided the Indian Government with $2.2 billion in tax if it had not taken place offshore. Surely that is something that the Government ought to rectify.
