Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.
That is absolutely right. The closure of the club in Montrose was a tragedy for the town and for the borough. The jobs have been lost and my hon. Friend is right that it is difficult for those people to find replacement jobs. In the current climate, it is also nigh-on impossible to identify any other business that would seek to reinvest in such community facilities given the rate of returns, not least when we take account of the cost of borrowing money to invest in new facilities to replace those that are being closed.
