Proceeding contribution from Nick Raynsford (Labour) 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 hon. Gentleman knows that I have a particular interest in the Bill’s business improvement district scheme because I introduced it when I was a Minister. I suggest that not all businesses have a say in a ballot because not all businesses pay the business improvement district levy. It is a levy only on tenants, and there is an issue about the non-contribution of freeholders, who are not involved in the balloting, although many make voluntary contributions because they see the benefits of the scheme. Will the hon. Gentleman be more careful in his claim that all businesses contribute through a ballot, because that is not so?
