Proceeding contribution from Lord Jackson of Peterborough (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Rating (Empty Properties) Bill.
Ways and Means
Does the Minister concur with the views expressed by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, which suggests in respect of the demise of the United Kingdom engineering industry in the 1970s that a major contributory factor was that the inability to mothball factories during recession and the requirement to pay full rates on non-producing premises frequently led to machinery being sold off and buildings being demolished?
