I shall make a helpful comment. Does the hon. Lady agree that, in some instances, local authorities are taking enforcement action against premises that have gone to appeal against their revaluation? It is crazy that there is a risk of their going out of business because of overburdening action by the local authority, pending the outcome of the appeal. Surely, local authorities could at least wait till the appeal is heard before going after the money.
