Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Corporation Tax Regime: Discussion (16 May 2018)

Lisa Chambers: I thank Mr. Coffey for his presentation to the committee. There are 13 companies paying an effective rate of 1%.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Corporation Tax Regime: Discussion (16 May 2018)

UK Withdrawal from the European Union: Statements (24 May 2018)

Lisa Chambers: It was very worrying that she was unable to tell me whether the task force knew how it was going to work but what she did say was that we must accept that trade will be very different and that things will not persist or remain as they are.
