Council Tax (New Valuation Lists for England) Bill

Unfortunately, I do not have the figures with me. However, I am sure that the Minister for Local Government, who is smiling at me, has them in his large portfolio and that he will produce them. Presumably, the cost of revaluation for an individual authority or a group of adjoining authorities would be proportionate to the expenditure for a national revaluation. However, I suspect that the Minister will find reasons why a local revaluation would be proportionately much more expensive, if he does not accept that the amendment is a genuinely positive move that, in a funny way, supports the Bill that he brought forward in the first place.
