Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (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

My hon. Friend will have noticed that the thrust of the Minister’s argument for not having a ballot under the regulations is that he is worried that businesses would block the proposal. Surely businesses know what is best for them, and if they block such a proposal they obviously cannot see a benefit to it. If they cannot see a benefit, surely the proposal ought to be carried out under general taxation.
