Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 July 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
This issue is a long-standing subject of debate. Following what was said by my right hon. Friend the Member for Berwick-upon-Tweed (Sir Alan Beith), may I suggest that it would be helpful to hear from Ministers later whether they have considered revenue-neutral ways of taxing renovation as opposed to new build? Are there not very good environmental reasons, very good energy-saving and green reasons, and very good land use and planning reasons, for continuing to use existing sites rather than building on new greenfield sites?
