Vince Cable: Some of them, some of them seem to be avoiding tax systematically and this is deeply angering. Tens of thousands of British companies who do pay their tax properly, so, yes we’ve got to get to grips with it.  

Ali Bunkall: So, can we expect anything in the autumn statement perhaps on that? 

VC: Yes, I’m sure the Chancellor will address this because there’s a lot of public anger which is building up. We’ve been through very difficult times and individuals have seen their standards of living cut. Much of that anger in the past has been directed at the way banking systems operated but we’re now getting evidence of systematic abuse by some companies and that’s really got to be stopped.
