Proceeding contribution from Viscount Trenchard (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Friday, 18 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Debate on select committee report on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
My Lords, I thank the Minister for trying to address my point. I take it that he agrees with my point that when this Government came into office, British corporation tax rates ranked very high up—that is, we had a very low rate of corporation tax. We were about fourth or fifth in the current EU 27, whereas we are now about 15th. We have fallen a long way down because our corporation tax has been reduced less than our partners have reduced theirs.
