Proceeding contribution from John McDonnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill.


Equality Bill

Will my hon. Friend remind the House that when the Government became the Administration in 1997, we introduced the tonnage tax to support such companies? Between £80 million to £100 million has been given to them in total, and the quid pro quo was that they would promote British seafaring employment, but that has not occurred.
