Windfall Tax On The Armaments Industry (EDM2030)

Windfall Tax On The Armaments Industry

EDM number 2030 in 2006-07, proposed by Bob Russell on 08/10/2007.

That this House notes that the armaments industry is making huge profits as a result of Britain's military engagements in Afghanistan and Iraq; and therefore calls on the Chancellor of the Exchequer to introduce a windfall tax on manufacturers who are benefiting from these conflicts to fund enhanced compensation payments for members of HM Armed Forces, and to donate funds to charities engaged in assisting serving and former members of HM Armed Forces and their families.

This motion has been signed by a total of 25 MPs.
