Move the House of Commons to a Tax Haven
EI2G reports that Parliament may save all the trouble with propriety (or lack of), expenses and tax deductibles by upping sticks and decamping to the British Virgin Islands.
“I have asked many MPs and taken some advice from my accountant and all are very much in favour of moving the House of Commons to the British Virgin Islands,” said Tory MP, Derek Conway. “It is a shame I am having to stand down over my financial dealings, as it would open up a lot of opportunities for my constituents in Old Bexley and Sidcup who have not yet worked in an overseas tax-haven. Such as my wife and sons.”
MPs are concerned about the possible disruption caused by even a temporary move of the commons’ chamber lending the British Virgin Islands proposals a great deal of cross-party support. The move would also bring closer those people most important to a constituency MP, his financial advisors.
Of course, if they moved to the United Arab Emirates, they could have that UK-shaped Island. Far easier to manage, and with a seven-star hotel to hand - what more could they want?
