Council Tax (New Valuation Lists for England) Bill

Does my right hon. Friend agree that the danger—if it exists—is less than it might otherwise be, given that the revaluation would have to be done within a fixed maximum and that the difference between different local authorities would therefore be maintained? The point that he makes would be much more powerful were it not for that fact. There may be reasons why problems remain—perhaps he would like to adduce them—but I am a rather keen on a bit of variety within those limitations.
