Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour) 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

Can I just finish this point? It is not unimportant. The other order that I would have brought forward, relating to water, has not been brought forward for reasons we understand—I do not want to go down that route. If that reform does not come in, it will cost the Northern Ireland Budget a substantial sum of money, and it can come in only based on the new capital values of properties rather than the old system. That is another reason why we need a more modern system of rateable values. I gladly give way; I think I have finished.
