Church leaders and Christian agencies say they are disappointed that neither of the two biggest political parties have included a commitment to the Robin Hood Tax in their manifestos.

Plaid Cymru have launched their general election manifesto with an insistence that protection for the vulnerable is a political priority that other parties are ignoring.

Christian Aid is seeking nominations for its Tax Superhero of the Year award. The idea is to recognise the tremendous potential of good tax practice to change the world.

British government plans to promote a new treaty allowing developing countries to share tax information held by rich countries are extremely welcome, says an influential UK-based churches' international development agency.
