Council Tax (New Valuation Lists for England) Bill

I thank the Minister for her reply. I accept that the amendment may not have been absolutely perfect but we are very restricted by the Short Title, which has made it extremely difficult—probably deliberately—to table amendments to tease out the process of council tax banding and revaluation. Our amendment may not be brilliant but it was the best we could do to get past the Clerks in order to get the matter discussed at all. I know that ingenuity was required to do it.
