Alliance Boots And Taxation

EDM number 1456 in 2010-12, proposed by John Mann on 15/02/2011.
Categorised under the topics of Service industries and Taxation.

That this House deplores corporate tax avoidance; believes formerly UK-based companies such as Alliance Boots/Boots UK Ltd. re-registering in tax havens is unacceptable corporate behaviour in this time of public spending cuts; recognises the philanthropic history of Boots, especially with its founder's generous gifts to the City of Nottingham; believes that Boots Company founder Jesse Boot would be shocked and appalled by his company's actions; and calls on the Government to condemn the actions of any British company to reduce its UK tax liability.

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