Council Tax (New Valuation Lists for England) Bill

May I echo my right hon. Friend’s concern about the fact that certain documents were not available earlier? The Bill refers to the Local Government Act 2003, copies of which were not available in the Chamber when we began our debate. On investigation, I discovered that it was available in the Vote Office. That is important, because the Bill repeals schedule 7 of that Act. Paragraph 52 (4) of the schedule states:"““In subsection (3) (instruments subject to negative resolution), in paragraph (a) (exceptions), after ‘11(3),’ there is inserted ‘22B(3)(a),’.””" I hope that that reassures my right hon. Friend.
