Proceeding contribution from Robert Neill (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Business Rate Supplements Bill.


Business Rate Supplements Bill

I am afraid that the hon. Gentleman puts the case very well. I wish that we had a specific legislative peg on which to hang the issue of ports. Given that we cannot do that, we can at least ensure that no such injustice is done elsewhere. In theory, there could be a BRS scheme in the port areas—on Humberside or in Liverpool—and I would not want the same injustice to occur.
