Regulatory Authorities (Level of Charges) Bill — 13 May 2011 at 11:32
I beg to move, That the Bill be now read a Second time.
This is a short Bill but an important one because it raises an issue that affects everyone in the country: the level of regulatory charges imposed on them. I think it was the Minister for the Cabinet Office and Paymaster General who coined the phrase “stealth taxes”. He did so more than 10 years ago, but it is still a highly relevant term, because when public sector organisations increase their fees and charges, they are essentially imposing additional taxes on the populace.
Question put, That the Bill be now read a Second time.
The House divided:
Ayes 6, Noes 38.
