I hear what the Minister is saying. It is really a restatement of what he said earlier.

I am struggling to understand how specific councils will bring in the same overall amount as they did under the old regime, before the revaluation. There will be additional properties in the net, but the overall yield will be the same. How is it that 80% of properties will actually give a larger yield?
