Proceeding contribution from Paul Beresford (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Council Tax (New Valuation Lists for England) Bill.


Council Tax (New Valuation Lists for England) Bill

I am listening to the hon. Gentleman’s opening shots with interest. He is comparing rates with council tax, but the situation is different. At the moment, valuation for council tax purposes is used for the distribution of grant and of the tax itself. So many of the arguments used earlier by the right hon. Member for Greenwich and Woolwich (Mr. Raynsford) actually support the positions of both the Government and of Conservative Front Benchers, so long as the proportions do not change dramatically.
