Proceeding contribution from Richard Ottaway (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Business Rate Supplements Bill.

Business Rate Supplements Bill

The Minister said that Crossrail will bring benefits to businesses across London. My constituency is the southernmost in London, and I assure the Minister that a small business in Coulsdon will derive no benefit whatever from Crossrail. Where on earth is the equity? Where is the fairness in having the Greater London authority impose a business rate for Crossrail which hits businesses that derive no benefit from it whatever?
