Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 March 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Spring European Council.
Spring European Council
The European Council's pledge to protect the world's financial systems from opaque and unco-operative tax havens is naturally good news, but will the Prime Minister tell us how he intends to implement that in our own country? We have four major banking groups. Two are effectively under national ownership and might be expected to respond to leverage on co-operation, but the other two—HSBC and Barclays—have long promoted tax evasion and avoidance schemes using offshore tax havens. How will the Prime Minister secure their co-operation?
