Proceeding contribution from Richard Younger-Ross (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 December 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pre-Budget Report.


Pre-Budget Report

I congratulate the Chancellor on adopting the proposal that I included in an early-day motion on the boiler scrappage scheme and on also adopting an EDM proposal for an effective 75p rate on banker bonuses. However, if such a rate is to be effective, measures to stop avoidance by increasing salaries or rolling over pay to a following year will have to be in place. What proposals does he have to ensure that such avoidance cannot happen? If he cannot do that, he will be far better off sticking with the proposals made by my hon. Friend the Member for Twickenham (Dr. Cable).
