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 want to return to the Minister's point that the ABA is distorting decisions. The Government actions that I outlined, such as those on improving animal welfare standards and environmental standards, are also distorting decisions. We are forcing farmers into capital investment to make those changes. Surely that is the distortion that should be recognised in the tax system.
