Proceeding contribution from Alison McGovern (Labour) 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

On the argument that my hon. Friend has just made about whether or not people would leave as a result of such a tax, does he agree that we should support what J. K. Rowling said in 2010 about people who might leave this country because of taxation? She said:"““I cannot help feeling…that it would have been contemptible to scarper…at the first sniff of a seven-figure…cheque.””" Ought we not to support her on this?
