Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Simon Thomas (Plaid Cymru), on Wednesday, 2 February 2005, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 43 members in total.


BUSINESS RATES ON RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATION

That this House is concerned at the increases in levels of business rates which the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister has recently set for renewable energy producers; believes that they will penalise renewable energy production as higher rates must be paid as renewable energy output increases and that this will be a barrier to the achievement of Government targets for renewable energy production; and calls on the Deputy Prime Minister to consult with his Cabinet colleagues in order to improve the co-ordination of Government policy in this vital area.
