Google tax deal 'not a glorious moment', says minister

Business secretary Sajid Javid says he shared Britons' sense of injustice as criticism grows of agreement with tech firm

A senior government minister has admitted the tax settlement between Google and the UK government "was not a glorious moment".

The admission by the business secretary, Sajid Javid, came as a senior executive from Google claimed he could not say how much UK profit has been generated by the technology firm in the past decade, or how many meetings had been held between the company's executives and ministers.
