HANS RAUSING

Early day motion 1114, tabled 11 April 2002 by Lord Cryer (Labour). Signed by 46 members.

That this House notes with alarm the story in the Guardian newspaper that the richest man in Britain, Hans Rausing, is apparently using tax loopholes to save himself millions of pounds in potential tax liabilities; and calls upon the Government to tighten tax legislation to ensure that wealthy individuals and corporations pay their fair share in tax.

Signatures by party: Labour 34, Liberal Democrat 6, Labour/Co-operative 4, Plaid Cymru 2.
