Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on Section 5 of the European Communities (Amendment) Act 1993.
Section 5 of the European Communities (Amendment) Act 1993
I do not believe that nonsense about people moving because of the top rate of tax. In France, the socialist opposition have suggested a top tax rate of 75% and said that if people move away because of it, plenty of other people who are just as talented will be prepared to take their jobs because they will still earn a lot of money.
