Proceeding contribution from Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 October 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Agricultural Building Allowance.


Agricultural Building Allowance

I am grateful to the Minister for giving way. He is always generous in engaging in debate. He has chosen a narrow aspect of the ABA in housing. The significant impact of the changes will be on agricultural buildings such as cattle courts, pig houses and hen houses. Before he compares agriculture to other businesses, does he accept that there are much tighter margins in agriculture than in most businesses?
