Proceeding contribution from Lord Trimble (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 October 2006. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Rates (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Order 2006.
Rates (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Order 2006
I draw to the Minister’s attention the figures that are available on the Valuation Agency’s website, which shows that the question of gainers and losers depends very much on geographical locality. In Newry and Mourne, 57 per cent of people are losers; in Cookstown, it is 63 per cent; in Dungannon, it is59 per cent; in Castlereagh it is 67 per cent; and in Belfast it is 56 per cent. I wonder where all the gainers are when all those losers are piling up in area after area. Has the Minister looked at the quality impact assessment that was done on this, which showed that the effects were really quite disproportionate in some categories?
