Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Peter Dowd (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 January 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Bill.

We will get as much scrutiny as possible on this Bill.

Having completely failed to create a strong and stable Government at the last election, the Prime Minister seems to be ignoring the will of the electorate and grabbing power by any means necessary. That is particularly the case with this Bill, where Ministers are being handed powers to set import and export duties, preferential rates and quotas across any good or service sector in our economy. This Bill will give the Government the power fundamentally to reshape the environment in which our economy operates with a few strokes of a pen.
