Rating (Empty Properties) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Phil Woolas (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Rating (Empty Properties) Bill.
Has the hon. Gentleman considered why it has been calculated that revenue would actually go down? Does not that reflect the fact that rateable values in the non-domestic rating system are based on rental values, not capital values? If the policy is successful, as we expect it to be, there will be a decrease in net revenue to the Exchequer.
