Proceeding contribution from Laurence Robertson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Public Houses.


Public Houses

I agree with the hon. Gentleman. That would help, although it would not entirely rescue the situation. We must consider the position of small businesses. They have to pay money out before they have earned any. That payment is not based on their activity, and they really are in a difficult situation. I hope that the Government will do something about that.
