Business Rate Supplements Bill

I cannot say that I am grateful for that response, as obviously I am not. Perhaps I am more grateful that I was allowed to table the amendment, given the comment of the noble Baroness, Lady Hamwee, who is expert in these matters. I can say only that the points have been made and the comments are on the record, and we will hope that the authorities which were gracious and charitable enough to allow this amendment to be tabled in Committee might be so inclined when it comes back on Report. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 67 withdrawn. Amendment 68 not moved. Clause 29 agreed. Clauses 30 to 32 agreed. Bill reported with amendments.
