Description

Political correspondent Des Fahy interviews Liberal Democrat MP, Simon Hughes, about the reading of his bill in the House of Commons, calling on the Queen to pay taxes. Hughes says it’s time to clear up a constitutional loophole, which means Prince Charles and the Queen pay no taxes, though other members of the Royal family do.
