Proceeding contribution from Phil Woolas (Labour) 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

I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on the ingenuity of his arguments. He is now telling us that pension funds will be affected because rents will go down. Five minutes ago, he was telling us that the retail prices index cap would be busted because of the opposite effect. Which is it?
