Unbelievably, Labour want to reverse this.
This is their policy: to be firm against firms. Their business to be against business.
As if they'd forgotten that people work in businesses and their wages come from firms.
We instead are proud to be the Party of firms and of businesses and of peoples' incomes andpeoples' jobs and peoples' livelihoods.
For when we choose to be on the side of enterprise we are choosing to be on the side of theBritish people.
This Party of Progress is the Party of free markets and of fair markets too.
How dare the Labour Party attempt to give lessons on fairness.
Hang on a minute.
Who's the Party restoring the real value of the minimum wage?
Who is the Party tackling abuse of zero hours contracts?
Who is the Party capping pay day loans?
Not 13 years of Labour
They were too busy capping each other.
It is us, the Conservative Party, who understand markets must be fair if they are to be free.
And it is this pro-business Conservative Chancellor who says to some of the biggest technologycompanies in the world, this today:
You are welcome here in Britain with open arms.
You have the advantages of:
Our skilled population to work for you;
Broadband connections to deliver your services;
And our NHS to keep your employees healthy.
Advantages that have to be paid for.
So while we offer some of the lowest business taxes in the world, we expect those taxes to bepaid - not avoided.
Some technology companies go to extraordinary lengths to pay little or no tax here.
If you abuse our tax system, you abuse the trust of the British people.
And my message to those companies is clear:
We will put a stop to it.
Low taxes, but low taxes that are paid.
Part of our effort to reduce our deficit.
For our choice is that we are all in this together.
It was this government that started the global work on changing international tax rules.
This autumn we will lead the world in implementing those changes here in Britain.
