The UK House of Lords EU Sub Committee on Economic and Financial Affairs published in December 2013 a follow up to its March 2012 Report on the European Commission’s proposals for a Financial Transaction Tax.

The European Commission has given the green light to a sub-group of 11 Member States to move forward with a significantly revised tax proposal, under a process known as enhanced cooperation; a move which the Committee condemns as being divisive, significantly detrimental to the UK's interest and deliberately contentious in such a controversial area.
