§ Amendment made: No. 93, in page 24 leave out Part I. — [Mr. Ancram.]
§ Mr. AncramI beg to move amendment No. 94, in page 25, line 21 after '10', insert
'Subject to paragraph 15 below.'
§ Mr. AncramSchedule 1(15) is intended to avoid the need for the assessor to make alterations to the valuation roll reflecting each and every change in the use made of part residential subjects, however small that change might be. If it is to achieve that objective, the paragraph should apply to the making of alterations as well as to their coming into effect. As it stands, paragraph 15 does not in any way bring about restrictions in the number of alterations that have to be made under paragraphs 10 and 11 of the schedule. It only makes the date when the alterations come into effect, which is otherwise governed by paragraph 14.
Amendment No. 96 ensures that the paragraph can meet its purpose. It also introduces a useful element of flexibility by enabling a period other than three months to be prescribed. This will allow adjustments to be made in the light of experience.
Amendments Nos. 94 and 95 are consequential upon No. 96 and I think that hon. Members will feel that this is an improvement to the way in which the legislation will operate.
§ Mr. Home RobertsonJust this once, I am prepared to take the Minister's word for it.
§ Question put and agreed to.
