Proceeding contribution from Lord Field of Birkenhead (Labour) 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

May I issue a plea to my hon. Friend to stop pulling his punches? Is not the position even worse? Operators who have created and maintained jobs in our constituencies believe that they have paid their rates through their charges. It is not just a case of retrospection. A poll tax is being levied retrospectively on operators who have already paid what was expected of them.
