BARCLAYS BANK AND TAX AVOIDANCE

Early day motion 1168, tabled 24 March 2009 by Austin Mitchell (Labour). Signed by 31 members.

That this House condemns Barclays Bank for indulging in alleged tax avoidance schemes which may have reduced the Treasury's tax revenues by over £1 billion; and urges the Government not to provide any loans, guarantees and financial support to Barclays and suspend its deposit-taking licence until it cleans up its affairs and withdraws from manufacturing, marketing, sale and implementation of all tax avoidance schemes.
