Council Tax (New Valuation Lists for England) Bill

My right hon. Friend touched on localism, so let us consider the very small picture. A large supermarket retailer has bought a considerable number of properties and a small industrial area in a blighted part of my constituency. This situation has been ongoing for several years and under a local system, local people would be pushing the council for a devaluation on the ground of blight. A very local system could lead to the sending of very mixed messages.
