Council Tax (New Valuation Lists for England) Bill

I am a genuine admirer of the hon. Gentleman’s ability to command the attention of the House, but when he talks about gapping plugs rather than plugging gaps he really does have us on the edge of our seats. He will join me in saying that the Government’s decision to ensure that the proceeds of the social homebuyers scheme are returned to local authorities to help them build should be supported by all hon. Members. It would only be polite if I allowed the right hon. Member for Wokingham (Mr. Redwood) to intervene.
