Proceeding contribution from Robert Smith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 October 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Businesses and the Regions.


Businesses and the Regions

One of the announcements made last week concerned help for business through the way in which Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs dealt with the collection of taxes and with companies in difficulty. At the time of the announcement, the Treasury Minister was unable to say whether new guidance would be placed in the Library on how that help would be achieved. Have there been any developments on exactly what message we can give in our constituencies that are facing trouble about how HMRC will put into effect the headlines on taking a more sympathetic approach at a time of economic crisis?
