The Minister should be aware that while this years increases have been capped at 25 per cent, that the rates for northern building construction industry has increased by 141 per cent since 1988. The painting, decorating and flooring firms have experienced a 250 per cent increase since 1988. How can the Minister honestly expect business people in the north to be able to stay in business when pressures like this are added to this government agency? Can he explain it to me, please?
