Proceeding contribution from Brian Binley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Business Rate Supplements Bill.
Business Rate Supplements Bill
I thank the right hon. Gentleman for taking great steps to ensure we understand what is a rather complicated area. Let us consider a situation in which a business rate supplement is in being and a new BID is then mooted; does the right hon. Gentleman fear that the supplementary rate could make it much more difficult for a new BID to be introduced? Let me say to him at this point that I am a fan of BIDs, as I have said both on previous occasions and in a commission I had the privilege to head-up for my party. Does he fear the concept of BIDs becoming less attractive because of this double whammy in terms of costs, albeit split between property owners and property occupiers?
