Ecological Tax Reform

EDM number 488 in 1996-97, proposed by Matthew Taylor on 05/02/1997.

That this House, believing in the importance of sustainable development, supports the principle of ecological tax reform, which means attempting to shift taxation from jobs to waste and pollution without increasing the overall tax burden, as one means of achieving it; and notes that, properly administered, this would strengthen environmental protection, create jobs and increase productivity and so benefit all sections of the community.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
