Proceeding contribution from Mark Field (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

It is only fair to point out that the business rate element for Crossrail plays only a very small part in the entire funding of the scheme. It would be wrong to suggest that having concerns about the legislation is somehow entirely at odds with supporting Crossrail—[Interruption.] It is pretty disingenuous of the Government to suggest that. A very small proportion of the overall funding for Crossrail as a whole will come from this legislation. Much of it will come from a number of other sources and not least from central Government. [Interruption.]
