Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Bill

The noble Lord is absolutely right, because this is not the Government’s proposal—which is why I am against his amendment. He said in

his speech that it would not be very much extra without actually telling us how much extra it would be. We already have £1 billion being added to the costs of small and medium-sized businesses at a time of great stress in our economy and when we are desperate for them to grow and create wealth. Yet here we are asking people running small businesses to fill in forms, and if they fill them in inaccurately, they will find themselves committing a criminal office.
