Proceeding contribution from Robert Syms (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Rating (Empty Properties) Bill.

Rating (Empty Properties) Bill

We all know that a number of buildings are in a state of disrepair and would fall under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. It is important to exempt them, and we want that to be clear by stating it in the Bill. Sometimes local authorities or a range of organisations have to give grants to do up such properties. If they were not exempt, renovating them and ensuring that they are saved, salvaged and enjoyed by future generations would be a far more difficult task.
