From the Guardian:
Brown presided over the tax system for 10 years, ushering in much anti-avoidance legislation but also several business-friendly reviews and "light touch" regulation from HM Revenue & Customs. He also rejected a general anti-avoidance rule as too onerous.
So when he was questioned on the subject on the floor of the House, shouldn't the greatest chancellor for decades have been capable of a more coherent reply?
The reason? He completely fluffed answers to Nick Clegg arising from the Guardian's Tax Gap series.
Worrying. You'd have thought this was one thing he did know.
