Mel Stride Excerpts

Tuesday 20th February 2018 Ministerial Corrections

The following is an extract from the First Delegated Legislation Committee debate on the Local Government Finance Act 1998 (Non-Domestic Rating Multipliers) (England) Order 2017:

[Mel Stride]

I thank the hon. Member for Oxford East for her contribution and for welcoming the measures, albeit that she did caveat her remarks fairly heavily. She asserted that the Government are not doing enough, but bringing forward the change to the revaluation approach by two years is a £2.3 billion move. [Official Report, 29 January 2018, First Delegated Legislation Committee, c. 6.]

Letter of correction from Mel Stride:

An error has been identified in my response to the debate.

The correct wording should have been:

[Mel Stride]

I thank the hon. Member for Oxford East for her contribution and for welcoming the measures, albeit that she did caveat her remarks fairly heavily. She asserted that the Government are not doing enough, but bringing forward the change to the indexation approach by two years is a £2.3 billion move.
