HC Deb 02 August 1978 vol 955 c403W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what further initiatives he is to take with his Council of Europe colleagues to prevent the use of tax haven countries inside or outside Europe by private persons or corporate bodies; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

The United Kingdom will co-operate in any studies which may be set on foot by the Council of Europe to consider how to defeat tax avoidance and evasion through the use of tax haven countries.
