No To Retro Tax – Campaign Against Section 58 Finance Act 2008

[BrilloPad]

Well, despite numerous requests and even a cross party letter calling on him to do so, he is still avoiding even meeting with NTRT.

He is happy to find time to meet Tory backbenchers about S58 but not us.

Have you any idea where he lives? Particularly round Westminster? Or would such direct lobbying be counter productive?

Running scared? Backbenchers he can "whip" into shape with a certain amount of explanation of party interests and potentially bring a few back into the fold. Clearly he may find it rather more difficult to have the same impact on other interested parties.

It seems clear you have their attention now. Keeping the momentum going will hopefully yield some dividend.

Good luck with the committee today, I sincerely hope it doesn't get talked out.

When he met with a group of Tory backbenchers he told them that neither of the parties in the coalition would support an amendment, and (obviously) nor would Labour.

A couple of months ago I would have assumed the same...

You can listen live here:



If we hear when it will actually be debated we will let you know.

It can be replayed afterwards.

DR, assume we dont have any further details on timing?

But once they learn what actually happened... Here's to breaking through the ignorance barrier!

I would assume it would be at the end of business late this afternoon but fact is we don't know.
