Proceeding contribution from Barbara Follett (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Port Business Rates.
Port Business Rates
My hon. Friend has been a Minister himself and understands the constraints under which we sometimes operate. However, I give the Chamber my assurance that we shall do everything in my power and the Secretary of State's power. I am glad that my hon. Friend has prayed in aid our right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, because that will be most useful. I shall report back to concerned Members about progress. We intend to move forward as swiftly as possible, because as we all know there is only an extremely short period in which to operate. I commend my hon. Friend the Member for Great Grimsby (Mr. Mitchell), who is in the Chamber today, for the work he has done on the issue. He has certainly kept my correspondence section extremely busy. Sitting suspended.
