Former MP for Luton East
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what has been the total amount paid by the 100 largest companies in corporation tax expressed as a percentage of profits declared in each of the past five years for which figures are available.
Is it not true that, whether corporation tax is seen as a percentage of GDP or as a percentage of the total tax obtained, British companies pay considerably less than their counterparts in our major competitor countries? If we are to look for the real reasons for our poor economic performance should we not look elsewhere than at the so-called disincentive effects of taxation?
How many people have been detained under the Act immediately after their release from a prison sentence? How many people have been excluded immediately after serving a prison sentence? If my right hon. Friend cannot give the House that information immediately, will he consider providing it in the future?
