Windfall Taxes

EDM number 858 in 2004-05, proposed by Malcolm Bruce on 08/03/2005.

That this House expresses its opposition to windfall taxes which would damage business confidence, cost jobs and investment by retrospectively altering adversely the terms of trade, undermine the recovery of company and private pension funds by reducing dividend payments and halting the recent upward trend in the UK stock market which could be sharply reversed by the introduction of such feckless taxes.

This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs.
