Proceeding contribution from Baroness James of Holland Park (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 14 October 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Non-Domestic Rating (Deferred Payments) (England) Regulations 2009.


Non-Domestic Rating (Deferred Payments) (England) Regulations 2009

My Lords, retrospective taxation is unfair, unjust and immoral. It is also scandalous that any Government claiming to support jobs should be the direct cause of their loss, with all the misery that that causes to people who lose their jobs and to their families. We should always resist such appalling and dishonourable proposals for retrospective legislation whenever they rear their heads. I support the Motion.
