Proceeding contribution from Lord Brooke of Sutton Mandeville (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Housing and Regeneration Bill.


Housing and Regeneration Bill

Before the noble Baroness responds, I have a question on which the Minister is entirely entitled to plead the fifth amendment, in American terms. I do not know where the Government have got to with their intentions to change the rating system, so that if someone has a good view they are going to pay higher rates than they did before. I am curious about what happens—this is relevant to the amendment moved by the noble Baroness—if, as a consequence to something that happens to a neighbour or whatever, you lose that good view. Do your rates then go down?
