I wonder whether my hon. Friend thinks that the Prime Minister decided to postpone the revaluation because he wanted not only to protect the future career of the Artful Dodger but, more importantly, to stop the Fagin of the Labour party, Gordon Brown, yet again using revaluation not for fiscal neutrality but as an excuse to raid the pockets of pensioners and hard-working householders across the country. That is why the Prime Minister went for it—not for any other reason.
