Proceeding contribution from Baroness Noakes (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 26 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Rating (Empty Properties) Bill.


Rating (Empty Properties) Bill

My Lords, the Minister may have misunderstood my argument. I said that there was no evidence that if rents came down, there would be pent-up demand. I also indicated that if rents came down, only tenants who were waiting for property at that rate might have a poor tenant covenant, which would raise its own problems.
