    Earlier this week I signed EDM 2501 sponsored by Liberal Democrat MP for Bristol West, Stephen Williams, that calls for a general anti avoidance rule for taxation.

Accordingly, I want us to support Stephen in pushing for this to be introduced.

    If you are a resident of the Bath constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
