At a time when we need to promote real entrepeneurship to drive the sustainable recovery we need, the widely reported use by some politicians, such as Labour Mayoral Candidate, and the public resentment this generates, is a betrayal of the culture of entrepreneurship that we should be doing everything we can to promote. I asked the following question to the Prime Minister at PMQs this week: “I’m sure I speak for the whole House in expressing support for entrepreneurship and the creation of new companies. But would my Right Honourable Friend agree with me that service companies set up by Labour politicians to disguise their hypocrisy on tax avoidance is a betrayal of real entrepreneurs up and down the land?”
