Business Rate Supplements Bill

Proceeding contribution from Brian Binley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Business Rate Supplements Bill.
The right hon. Gentleman is most kind and I am very grateful to him for giving way. Can I get it clear in my mind? We have a BID in operation. If we introduce a supplementary rate, is the right hon. Gentleman suggesting that the levying authority would be able to divide the element of supplementary rate between the owners and the occupiers, not exceeding the total of 2 per cent., or is he saying that we could levy even more money by including the owners of the property, while the occupiers would still have to pay both the BID levy and the supplementary rate levy?
