Proceeding contribution from Mark Francois (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance (No. 2) Bill 2005-06.


Finance (No. 2) Bill

My hon. Friend is making an extremely important point. When companies, especially large multinationals, consider making investment decisions, they look at a whole range of factors. One of the most important is confidence in the continuity of the tax regime in the jurisdiction in which they plan to invest. Decisions such as this are therefore injurious, in that they will damage that confidence and have a long-term knock-on effect on investment in this country. Would my hon. Friend like to amplify that point a little more, because of its importance?
