Peter Aldous speaks in the Third Reading debate of the Finance (No.2) Bill to raise concerns about the abolition of multiple dwellings relief for stamp duty land tax and calls on the Government to retain the relief for transactions of six or more dwellings, as this would ensure significantly more rental homes are built in places like Lowestoft than if the relief were completely abolished.
