Council Tax (New Valuation Lists for England) Bill

I am glad that my hon. Friend has explained that—even though he is straying somewhat from party policy—because it is useful to the debate on amendment No. 3. A national revaluation enables the setting of national policy objectives on the redistribution of money. That becomes much more difficult it revaluation is conducted on a regional, sub-regional or local authority basis. My fear as one whose county is not treated well by the grant system is that local revaluation might freeze an unjust distribution of the revenue support grant, which is one of the main political elements of that system.
