Finance (No. 2) Bill

It is important to put on the record that Northern Ireland probably benefits disproportionately as a result of this measure, compared with any other part of the United Kingdom. The average house price in Northern Ireland is £128,650—in some areas west of the Bann, it is about £109,000—so hitting house prices over £300,000 would involve such a limited market.

Many, many people in Northern Ireland are going to benefit from this, and I welcome the move the Government have made.
