Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 28 June 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Localism Bill.

Localism Bill

Just so that we can tick off this item as we go along, my amendment to include the business rate would still be qualified by ““set by it””. It would not cover NNDR, which are set nationally by the national multiplier, and would come into effect only if circumstances arose in which there was local discretion on the business rate. Just as council tax is set by it the business rate would be set by it. My amendment sought to include those circumstances and the interests that had to be considered when applying discretionary relief. It was not meant to include NNDR as currently constituted.
