Local Government Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Jim Fitzpatrick (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Local Government Finance Bill.
As part of the south-east phenomenon—the area that I represent covers Canary Wharf and the London borough of Tower Hamlets—my constituency would naturally, I assume, be a winner from these reforms. Has the Secretary of State seen the briefing issued today by London Councils to London MPs? It welcomes the retention of part of the business rate but then states:"““However, the Bill as drafted creates a fiendishly complex system in which the level of the business rate incentive is uncertain and unpredictable””." Will he respond to that concern from London Councils?
