Proceeding contribution from Paul Beresford (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 February 2010. It occurred during Legislative debate on Local Government Finance.


Local Government Finance

Speaking as someone from Croydon or for central London, I believe that the removal of the business rate has had a positive side, but it has had a negative effect on much of the rest of the country where there is little business. That is why, in my personal opinion, there must be equalisation across the country; otherwise many local authorities with no or next to no businesses will be savaged.
