tim,
Thanks for this
In principle we support the robin hood tax
- it is an interesting proposal.
I think there are some technical issues that
would need to be overcome and
also a more international approach would
make it more effective.
In the interim we are proposing a 10% tax
on bank profits to help rebalance the books
- where the tax payer acts as a safety net for banks.
Unfortunately this invite has come a bit late
and I already have meetings
- but I will find out what is said at the meeting.

Dear Mr Oaten,
You are my MP. I support the "Robin Hood"
financial transaction tax(http://robinhoodtax.org.uk).
This tiny tax on financial transactions could
raise billions of pounds for good causes.
Advocates of the Robin Hood Tax will hold
a Parliamentary launch between 12.30-2.30pm on
Wednesday 24th February in Committee Room 17
of the House of Commons.
I request that you attend this event.
A formal invitation with more details and
contact information is attached.
Yours sincerely,
Tim Hodge
Winchester
