"Mr President, I am against an EU financial transaction tax. The UK Government is against an EU financial transaction tax. So are the governments of the Czech Republic, Sweden, Luxembourg and Malta.
So, if we are not unanimous, why are we still talking about this tax? A tax which will damage growth and cost jobs.
Let us face facts. It is Britain which will lose most of these jobs. The EU financial transaction tax is a tax on the City of London. France and Germany may well be willing to see jobs and businesses driven out of my constituency, but I will not stand by and let London become the EU’s whipping boy."@en1
