Council Tax (New Valuation Lists for England) Bill

Perhaps that explains why the opportunity to give a broader explanation would have been helpful, because the situation that my right hon. Friend mentions is covered by the amendment, as he will see if he looks very carefully. The amendment covers an individual authority or lots of authorities. I specifically picked the term ““adjoining authorities”” because I chose as an example—I shall be ruled out of order if I continue with it—the Thames Gateway, which includes a number of authorities to which such circumstances might apply. Given that they are adjoining, it would be appropriate to carry out a revaluation at the same time.
