division_name: Regulatory Authorities (Level of Charges) Bill
motion: <p class="" pid="c.1473.4/1" pwmotiontext="yes">I beg to move, That the Bill be now read a Second time.</p>
  
  <p class="" pid="c.1473.4/2" pwmotiontext="yes">This is a short Bill but an important one because it raises an issue that affects everyone in the country: the level of regulatory charges imposed on them. I think it was the Minister for the Cabinet Office and Paymaster General who coined the phrase &#8220;stealth taxes&#8221;. He did so more than 10 years ago, but it is still a highly relevant term, because when public sector organisations increase their fees and charges, they are essentially imposing additional taxes on the populace.</p>
