BUSINESSES IN NORTHERN IRELAND
Early day motion 1703, tabled 17 September 2003 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 18 members.
That this House acknowledges that businesses in Northern Ireland have suffered particular adverse effects as a result of liability insurance premium increases as was recognised in the Office of Fair Trading Report into the liability insurance market; requests as a short-term measure that the UK Treasury uses the revenue generated by insurance premium tax to avert a growing crisis in the small business insurance market; and further recommends that the insurance premium tax should be used to provide a pool of employers' liability insurance.
