Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
I am very sympathetic to the Chief Secretary's efforts to provide tax reliefs for businesses, but she will know that, notwithstanding the support that the Government are trying to give, the banks' reduction in overdraft facilities tends to negate some of the benefits in the Bill. Can she do anything to force the banks to provide facilities that companies desperately need, without which many of her proposals will be compromised to some extent?
