Equalities Minister Harriet Harman has called for tax breaks for corporate entertainment visits to lap-dancing clubs to be banned. BBC

Ms Harman has petitioned the chancellor to end tax relief on events which she says exclude female employees and form part of the wider sex industry.

Ms Harman said going to such clubs should not be a legitimate expense.

Right on Sister!

Except ....

The Treasury said corporate entertainment of any kind was not deductable for tax or VAT purposes.

Ah, so now what are you going to do then missy?

She's just talking rot, as usual.

I don't think the BBC article was clear on that point.
