What could a Robin Hood Tax mean for a fairer economy?
November 7th 2012 / 
Robin Hood
 

Back at the beginning of October, we teamed up with Compass and the Cooperative Party to hold a packed fringe meeting at the Labour Party conference entitled: Ideas for a fairer Economy

The panel included Chris Leslie MP (Shadow Financial Secretary to the Treasury), Polly Toynbee (The Guardian), Frances O’Grady (Designate General Secretary of the Trade Union Congress), David Hillman (Stamp Out Poverty) and Neal Lawson (Compass).

Following the discussion we ask Frances O'Grady of the TUC, Chris Leslie MP and Larry Elliott of the Guardian how important they think a Robin Hood Tax could be in creating a fairer economy?
