Proceeding contribution from Doug Henderson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

I am not trying to be awkward, and I understand some of the points that the hon. Lady is making about the dilemma facing small businesses, but will she concede that the main factor that affects small businesses is what is happening to big businesses and to the economy generally? When the economy is operating at a high level of demand, people have more money in their pockets, and there is more work for small businesses.
