Proceeding contribution from Mark Hoban (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance (No. 3) Bill.

Finance (No. 3) Bill

May I just remind the hon. Gentleman what the Labour party said on the bank levy when it was in government? It said that it should be"““coordinated internationally to avoid jeopardizing the UK's competitiveness””." The previous Government were not even thinking about a bank levy—they ruled it out. They said that we should not set the tone of the international debate. This Government have had the courage to do so. It is about time that the hon. Gentleman recognised our willingness to take that tough decision to raise more money from the banks than the previous Government raised from their bank payroll tax.
