Independent investigation into MPs to ensure that no one is avoiding paying tax
In the light of the Panama Papers, it is essential for all MPs to be transparent with their tax affairs, ensuring that no one in government is committing a crime by avoiding paying tax. If we are "all in this together" then we should all be paying tax together.
We have to make sure that no MP or member of their direct family is benefiting from any off shore trusts or tax havens. If it comes to light that someone is, then they should be punished with the sentence as any other member of the public.
