Private Equity Companies

EDM number 939 in 2006-07, proposed by John McDonnell on 21/02/2007.

That this House welcomes the statement by the TUC's General Secretary accusing some private equity companies of operating like `amoral asset strippers' and `casino capitalists'; and calls upon the Government to consider legislation to exercise control over the damaging behaviour of those operations and to review the tax relief on interest paid by private equity groups.

This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs.
