Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 May 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Tax Avoidance and Evasion.


Tax Avoidance and Evasion

I thank my hon. Friend for taking up this issue again. One way in which it could be dealt with is through a Tobin tax. That is an idea whose time came five or so years ago, yet lamentably we have made no progress on it. Is there a reason why?
