Avoidance allegations reach Commons

Jeremy Corbyn MP

Labour leader quizzes PM

 

Allegations of tax avoidance on aircraft have been raised in Westminster this lunchtime (Wednesday).

During Prime Minister Questions, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn asked Theresa May if she'd investigate allegations over corporate jets imported through the Island.

It comes four days before a BBC Panorama broadcast which is promising to lift the lid on secretive practices in the global finance sector and expose a number of individuals accused of stashing wealth.

Last week producers from the programme were on the Island, interviewing figures including the Chief Minister.

Mrs May told MPs she remained committed to combating tax evasion
