ROYAL MAIL

Early day motion 1279, tabled 9 April 2014 by John McDonnell (Labour). Signed by 31 members.

That this House calls on the Government to levy a windfall tax on those speculators who shamelessly broke their deal with the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills over the privatisation of the Royal Mail and profited at the expense of the British taxpayer; and urges the Government to clearly demonstrate in this way that it will no longer tolerate this appalling standard of behaviour in the City and will act decisively whenever it is discovered that the taxpayer is losing out to commercial interests.

Signatures by party: Labour 20, DUP 3, Liberal Democrat 2, Plaid Cymru 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Green 1, Independent 1.
