Proceeding contribution from Lord Trimble (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 7 November 2006. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Rates (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Order 2006.

Rates (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Order 2006

My Lords, I notice that the Minister is using a different percentage figure from the one that he used in Grand Committee, where he said that55 per cent of people would gain under this. He will recall that the point was made to him in Grand Committee that if he considered the people who are legally obliged to pay rates—in other words, if he discounted those whose rates are paid for them by social security—a different figure might emerge. Has he looked into that, and can he tell us what the relevant figure is?
