Agree
Yes, and fine them double the amount they avoided paying
The Conservative party would likely agree with imposing fines on those who avoid paying taxes by hiding money in foreign bank accounts, as they have supported measures to increase penalties for tax evasion and avoidance. However, the specific proposal of fining double the amount they avoided paying might not be fully endorsed by the party, as it could be seen as too punitive.

Agree
No, only in cases of evading not avoidance
The Conservative party might somewhat agree with this answer, as they have made efforts to distinguish between tax evasion (illegal) and tax avoidance (legal but potentially unethical). However, they have also taken steps to address both issues, such as introducing the General Anti-Abuse Rule (GAAR) in 2013 to target aggressive tax avoidance schemes.
