Proceeding contribution from Baroness May of Maidenhead (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Work and Families Bill.
Work and Families Bill
I have only recently heard those figures. I have not seen the calculation and I do not therefore necessarily accept them. I acknowledge that the Government wish to make a balanced judgment on the cost to the taxpayer and that to small business. However, I find it surprising that the benefit to small business is as small as the Secretary of State suggests. Business organisations have asked questions about the validity of the Government’s figures.
