LYONS REVIEW

Early day motion 1191, tabled 21 March 2007 by Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 27 members.

That this House notes with concern the recommendations in the recent Lyons Review, including the proposed tourism tax or bed tax to raise additional funding for local authorities; recognises that this would be damaging to the tourism industry, which raised more than £80 billion for the British economy in 2004; and urges the Government to reject this part of the Lyons Review.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 18, Conservative 4, DUP 2, Labour 2, Plaid Cymru 1.
