Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Ian Murray (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 September 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.

The hon. Gentleman is making an incredibly powerful speech about the reasons for tax transparency, but in the case of companies such as Avis, which he mentions, should we not have transparency for one simple reason only—so that consumers can vote with their feet? If they believe that they are purchasing products from companies that are not paying tax in this country or in other countries, they can go and buy those products from other companies that are paying tax.
