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
The hon. Gentleman touches on an important point. Does he agree that the Government have not looked at the macro-economic impact in respect of the cumulative impact on inflation that this change may well have? As he concedes, the cost will be passed on in the form of higher rents and service charges, which could potentially cancel out any overall benefits to the economy.
