Mr. Millan

Lords Amendment No. 11 and the other amendments that we are discussing all relate to Clause 4, which relates to the establishment of valuation appeal committees. None of the amendments is a matter of any great significance. The amendments simply improve the wording of the clause and the arrangements to ensure that the order-making powers of Clause 4 are wide enough to allow the model scheme for the constitution of valuation appeal committees to make provision for any matters which the Secretary of State may wish to cover, given the fact that the appeal committees cannot be completely standardised as they deal with different characters and different sizes of valuation areas. If there are any points raised I shall be glad to answer them, but the amendments do not make any real change in the substance of the clause.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendments agreed to, one with Special Entry.
