There's a Land Value Tax and Transportation policy fringe at the Labour conference tonight hosted by the Professional Land Reform Group of which I am a member, or at least I think I am - they might not think so as I've never had my subscription acknowledged (you know the kind of organisation - we have lots of them in the party!).</p> <p>Amongst the speakers were to have been Vince Cable and Steve Norris, but Vince cancelled at short notice today, so I was asked to step in. How ironic it would have been me trying to belt up the only toll motorway in the country to get to a panel discussion about transport policy and land tax (especially since I was at school with one of the farmers who must have made a mint out of the toll road as well!).</p> <p>But alas, what we thought was on at 8pm turns out to be 6.30pm, and without some form of ballistic transport I don't think I could have made that. So the excellent Peter Reilly from ALTER is going to go instead. But it was kind of nice to be asked to step in for Vince...:)</p> <p>Oh well, maybe next time. I'm not so sure I would have been the best advocate for our new tax policies anyway!<br /><!-- technorati tags start --><br /> <p style="text-align:right;font-size:10px;">Technorati Tags: <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/land value tax" rel="tag">land value tax</a>, <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/lib dems" rel="tag">lib dems</a>, <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/tax shifting" rel="tag">tax shifting</a>, <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/taxation" rel="tag">taxation</a></p> <p><!-- technorati tags end --></p> http://www.jockcoats.org.uk/vince_steps_aside_jock#comments miscellany Wed, 27 Sep 2006 14:06:45 +0000 Jock 124 at http://www.jockcoats.org.uk
