Proceeding contribution from Phil Woolas (Labour) 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

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for accepting that we agree about the purpose that we are trying to achieve. However, the way in which the amendment is drafted means that it would provide for the opposite, because development issues would be perceived as anti-avoidance measures. That is my fear.
