Council Tax (New Valuation Lists for England) Bill

I thank my hon. Friend for supporting the amendment. In response to my right hon. Friend the Member for East Yorkshire (Mr. Knight), who is more paranoid and concerned than me and who is to my right in more ways than just geography, it is possible for the Government to change the funding system undercover and lay the blame on local government. However, it would be too open for the Government to distort the system in the way that he fears.
