Andrew Turner Excerpts

Tuesday 22nd May 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mr Alan Reid (Argyll and Bute) (LD)]

I present a petition in the same terms signed by 346 people who are residents of, or visitors to, Argyll and Bute. Owners of static caravans bring a great deal of money to Argyll and Bute, and many businesses in the constituency are very worried that the impact of this tax will mean a loss of revenue and a loss of jobs.

The Petition of residents of Argyll and Bute constituency, and others.

[P001043]

[Mr Andrew Turner (Isle of Wight) (Con)]

I present a petition in similar terms from the Isle of Wight, from 356 residents or visitors.

The Petition of residents of the Isle of Wight Holiday Parks.

[P001047]

[Ian Paisley (North Antrim) (DUP)]

It is my honour and privilege to prevent a “Stop Caravan Tax” petition of behalf of my constituents, in the same terms as that presented to the House by my friend the hon. Member for Beverley and Holderness (Mr Stuart). In the wonderful villages of Bushmills and Ballycastle, and indeed in the Glens, caravan parks will potentially be destroyed by such a tax. As I voted against it, it is my honour to defend the rights of those villagers and prevent this tax on holidays.

The Petition of residents of North Antrim constituency.
