Proceeding contribution from Mark Francois (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 5 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance (No 2) Bill.
Finance (No. 2) Bill
If more companies were allowed to list as REITs on the AIM, they would put their property portfolios into the REIT regime, on which a 2 per cent. entry charge would be levied, which would be revenue raising. The Economic Secretary said that part of the Government’s rationale in not allowing REITs to list on the AIM was to protect small investors. What is the difference in principle between small investors investing in lots of other companies listed on the AIM but not in property companies listed on it?
