AGGREGATES LEVY IN NORTHERN IRELAND

Early day motion 580, tabled 13 December 2001 by Michael Weir (Scottish National Party). Signed by 2 members.

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.
