Proceeding contribution from John Healey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 April 2009. It occurred during Legislative debate on Rating and Valuation (S.I., 2009, No. 204).

Rating and Valuation (S.I., 2009, No. 204)

I have already dealt with that point. I have some sympathy with that perception of unfairness, but the argument must be taken up with the port operators with which the companies have the tenancy agreements and to which they pay the cumulo. I have asked about this consistently over the past nine months, and I have seen very little evidence of any contractual confirmation that the business rates are paid explicitly as part of the cumulo. Therein lies something of a problem for my hon. Friend and some of the companies in his constituency.
