Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what representations he has received from industry on the effect of supplementary rates on industrial competitiveness.

No specific representations have been received about the effect of supplementary rates on industry, but there has been increasing concern and a large number of complaints from businessmen about the burden imposed by non-domestic rates.
