Business Rates Avoidance Schemes
My Lords, the noble Lord, Lord Sikka, referred to the role of enablers in supporting business tax avoidance schemes. We know that, in many areas of financial crime, estate agents, bankers, lawyers and accountants are corruptly aiding these avoidance sche

Does the noble Baroness acknowledge that we should look at our society and ask why we might be suffering from higher levels of those conditions, and why people are not able to find a place in our society, as well as looking at biology?
If Hansard did not catch that, the comment from the Opposition Front Bench was, “What is new?”
I begin by making a very simple point. The way in which the outcomes of the reviews of all the payments we are discussing have been conducted, particularly
My Lords, I thank the Minister for setting out the case for the Greater Cambridge Development Corporation. Unavoidably, it sounded like something out of the 1970s, rather than something fit for the 21st century.
