Proceeding contribution from Lord Moynihan (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 18 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Business Rate Supplements Bill.

Business Rate Supplements Bill

It is extremely helpful that the Minister will go away and think about my noble friend’s important suggestion; namely, to see whether it is possible to place in the Bill not the details—which as the Minister stated, will differ from area to area—but the principle that business will have a strong voice and that there will be continuity of representation. That would be enshrined in the Bill and taken into account in the context of each case, the detail of which neither we need nor would it be appropriate to delve into because that flexibility is needed. I hope, however, that the principle will be accepted.
