Proceeding contribution from Angela Watkinson (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 have been following the right hon. Gentleman's remarks to the best of my ability. When business owners are consulted about a new BID proposal, do they have to give a unanimously positive response, or does there need to be a positive response from a certain proportion of those approached? What does "majority" mean, if there is to be a majority vote? If the proportions are 49 per cent. to 51 per cent. will the scheme go ahead?
