Schedule 1
Business Rate Supplements Bill
4:00 pm
Brian Binley (Northampton South, Conservative)
With respect, Mr. Atkinson, I seek your guidance. I thought that the debate was about amendment 35. I put it to you with all the good manners that I can muster that my remarks are relevant to the amendment. However, I will take your advice and wind up—that is what you are saying to me in a gentle way.
To reiterate, there are those with skills in the business sector who would be willing to become involved in the scrutiny of such a project and to offer their expertise, knowledge and experience. If I am offered cheap expertise at that level of importance, I take it with alacrity, and I hope that the Minister would too.
