Aggregates Levy In Northern Ireland

EDM number 580 in 2001-02, proposed by Mike Weir on 13/12/2001.

That this House notes the recommendations from the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee to postpone the introduction of the aggregates levy in Northern Ireland until a fully informed decision has been reached; notes that the public sector accounts for 40 per cent. of all aggregates used in Scotland; further notes that the aggregates levy will therefore have a negative effect on public sector spending in Scotland; and therefore calls upon the government to abandon the aggregates levy in Scotland.

This motion has been signed by a total of 2 MPs.
