BANKERS' BONUS TAX

That this House understands the anger the British public feel at the financial crisis and the resultant need for public services cuts to get the deficit down; believes that instead of giving the banks a tax cut this year, the Government should place a tax on bankers' bonuses and use the money to fund apprenticeships, jobs and new homes; furthermore urges HM Treasury to take urgent steps to boost economic development, growth and jobs creation; and calls on the Chancellor of the Exchequer to bring plans before the House at the earliest opportunity to introduce a new bankers' bonus tax.
