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
The LGA makes the important point that it wants the extra revenues raised to go back to local government, but can the hon. Gentleman clarify whether he means that the money should go back to the local area where the business rate is raised or should it be distributed across the country? If the former, which is his party’s policy, it would make better-off areas with empty property much richer.
