Cable hits out at government secrets over tax blacklist

Tax avoiders face being shunned for honours such as knighthoods as authorities clamp down on rewarding those with "poor" financial behaviour. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has been alerting the Cabinet Office to individuals involved in controversial tax schemes, with a memorandum of understanding obtained by The Times saying, "poor tax behaviour is not consistent with the award of an honour". Liberal Democrat leader Sir Vince Cable MP has hit out at the government for keeping the process secret. Report by Jonesia.
