Support TheyWorkForYou's work in the new Parliament

TheyWorkForYou is run by mySociety, a small UK charity.

We're a very efficient operation and do a lot with a small team. At the moment TheyWorkForYou, which is used by millions of people each year, is run with less than the equivalent of one full-time person.

If we had a bit more money, we could achieve a lot more.

We want MPs to meet the standards and expectations of the people who elected them - you!

If you share that goal please donate today to enable greater transparency and accountability of the next government.

Learn more about our current work, and our new project WhoFundsThem - looking into MPs’ and APPGs’ financial interests.

• Clause 28. — (Transactions Designed to Avoid Liability to the Profits Tax.) 11 Jun 1951

  I do not want to be discourteous to the hon. Member for Nelson and Colne (Mr. S. Silverman) but merely to state the reason—I can do so in three minutes—why I propose to vote against this Clause.

It is one which concerns me deeply. It is the question of dishonesty being promoted by this Clause. Stocks which move, quite properly, by a van from the place where the stock is ordinarily held to the place of...
