Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 July 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
The hon. Gentleman talks about the deficit. Things are getting worse, rather than better, because of the squeeze on the economy. If we made serious efforts to reduce the tax gap, which is estimated at £120 billion a year, we could solve that problem overnight. It is just a question of changing the law to make sure that people pay the taxes that they should pay.
