Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) 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

We support the amendment. The noble Lord, Lord Best, will not be surprised because I have made the same points at different stages. It is a Bill for the long term. If local authorities are to be trusted in the way in which we have been discussing, they should be trusted to this greater extent. It seems a little perverse to put—I was about to say a legislative block, but it is not in legislation; it would require another primary legislative building block to extend the scope of the BRS.
