Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Simon Hoare (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 September 2017. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.

My right hon. Friend is talking about practical application, rather than merely theory. When President Hollande took office in France, he hiked the French tax system in order to squeeze the rich until the pips squeaked, as it were. My right hon. Friend will recall that the wealthy French then moved in very large numbers to Chelsea. The lingua franca of Chelsea changed from Russian to French overnight. People will move to where they find the tax regime benign and fair.
