Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 8 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Business Rate Supplements Bill.
Business Rate Supplements Bill
My Lords, I wrote a note to myself to refer to the Mayor of London’s briefing. I will not read it out because the noble Lord, Lord Bates, has done it full justice. We are, however, opposed to an automatic offset. BIDs are different from BRSs—they have a different purpose and there are different ratepayers—so we do not think it would be appropriate for there to be an offset in the automatic way he suggests. I am afraid, therefore, that we cannot support this amendment.
