Proceeding contribution from Robert Neill (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Rating (Empty Properties) Bill.


Rating (Empty Properties) Bill

Is not the concern felt by many in the commercial sector, particularly those involved in small businesses, reinforced by the remarkable fact that this is the only element of the Lyons review that the Government have made great haste to introduce into legislation? Every other matter is kicked back so that there is more consultation, but the one element from Lyons that is immediately seized upon is the element that happens potentially to increase the burden on business. That gives us concerns about the Government’s motivation.
