Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves says party plans to pursue tax avoiders will raise £5bn a year by the end of the parliament.
Labour will pursue tax avoiders to fund its commitments on schools and the NHS after the government adopted its plan to raise revenue by abolishing the non-dom tax status. Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves is set to announce the party's plans to raise £5bn a year by the end of the next parliament to fund its polices on breakfast clubs for primary school children and additional appointments in the NHS.
'That is why last month I promised to go through all the government documents in an orderly way to identify the funding streams to honour our commitments to the NHS and schools. 'That process is now complete and the funding a future Labour government will raise from taking on the tax dodgers will fund more appointments in NHS hospitals, new scanners, extra dentist appointments and free breakfast clubs for all primary school pupils.
