Schedule 1
Business Rate Supplements Bill
4:00 pm
Dan Rogerson (North Cornwall, Liberal Democrat)
When we adjourned, I was drawing to a close my remarks on the amendment tabled by the hon. Member for Bromley and Chislehurst, regarding some body that would have oversight and ensure that business had a role not just in supporting the business rate supplement and, of course, funding it, but in ensuring that the way in which the project was taken forward had the benefit of business insight and experience.
Although the proposal in the amendment would no doubt need a great deal of refining regarding how such a body should work, who should be represented and so on, it is helpful. I shall thus listen with interest to the rest of the debate before deciding whether to support it.
