Proceeding contribution from John Howell (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 April 2009. It occurred during Legislative debate on Rating and Valuation (S.I., 2009, No. 204).

Rating and Valuation (S.I., 2009, No. 204)

I thank the Minister for his generosity and characteristic humour in allowing me to intervene on him. Will he explain the differences in the estimates of the total backdated liabilities for, say, 2009-10? In the evidence and options paper, table 1 gives a figure of £112 million, but table 5 gives a figure of £341 million. The difference between the two figures has been brushed away as being due to a difference in assumptions, but we are never told what the assumptions are. Will the Minister now tell us?
