Proceeding contribution from Chris Mullin (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 July 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Rating (Empty Properties) Act 2007.
Rating (Empty Properties) Act 2007
Obviously, the reforms will benefit the public purse only if the companies concerned are capable of paying the large increases. In the case of Pallion Engineering, there has been a fivefold increase in rates. If the effect is to put the company out of business, that will reduce the revenue available to the public purse.
