For an EU Financial Transaction Tax
Event
A financial transaction tax is one of the main proposals for addressing casino capitalism. It has gathered widespread support throughout Europe, and the European Commission has made a proposal for the tax, but the UK is highly reluctant. None of the major parties is backing the tax.
We would therefore like to invite you to a high level briefing and discussion seminar to talk about the reasons for a tax, why and how the Labour Party as the main opposition should be supporting it and what we can do together to make it a reality.
-----------
The meeting will take place in a Room (TBC) in the House of Commons at 6.00pm – 7.30pm on Tuesday 31st January.
The lead off speakers will be Sony Kapoor of Re-define, a former investment banker turned progressive campaigner on financial issues and David Hillman from Stamp Out Poverty.
The meeting will be chaired by Lisa Nandy MP.

The meeting is being organised by Compass, European Alternatives and the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung with the support of the European Commission representation in the UK.
