Enterprise Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Angela Eagle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 February 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Enterprise Bill [Lords].

The hon. Gentleman mentions the apprenticeship levy, but it will have to be paid by the public sector, which is being squeezed very hard by Government cuts, so there is no explanation of where the money will come from—if the hon. Gentleman has one, he can stand up and give it to the House now. [Interruption.] Well, the Bill amends the Industrial Development Act 1982 in an entirely sensible but minor way, and it tinkers at the edges of non-domestic rates, when what we probably need is major reform of the workings of the valuation office and, indeed, of the entire business rates system.
