Tax Avoidance

Proceeding contribution from Paul Farrelly (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 February 2015. It occurred during Opposition day on Tax Avoidance.

Richard Brooks is a fine journalist for Private Eye, not the BBC, and has done seminal work in investigating tax avoidance and evasion. Does my hon. Friend agree that the fact that neither HSBC nor any of the individuals involved are being prosecuted shows that HMRC is still a pussycat when it comes to big tax avoiders, yet will eagerly go after the small fry and small businesses?
