BANKERS' BONUSES AND SALARY INCREASES

Early day motion 1227, tabled 20 December 2010 by John McDonnell (Labour). Signed by 35 members.

That this House considers that large scale bonuses for bankers and/or the use of the device of converting these bonuses into sizeable salary increases will be viewed by the British people, whose taxes were used to bail out the banking system, as obscene and unacceptable; and therefore calls on the Government to introduce immediately a windfall tax on these bonuses and untoward salary increases.

Signatures by party: Labour 24, Liberal Democrat 4, Plaid Cymru 3, Alliance 1, DUP 1, Green 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
