Proceeding contribution from Adrian Sanders (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 January 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Water and Sewerage (South-west).
Water and Sewerage (South-west)
May I focus on a part of the matter that is often overlooked? Visitors already pay a contribution through their accommodation tariff—all hotel accommodation is water-metered. Is it second home owners that we are getting at? I think that the tourism industry, which is still the biggest industry and the largest employer in Devon and Cornwall, would see the seasonal tariff as a stealth tax. I would like to knock that one off the table as soon as possible.
