I understand the Deputy's point about the issue of funding pressures local authorities face. It is why what we seek to do is equitable in that it brings into the local property tax perimeter properties that have been built since 2013, for which local authorities are responsible for supporting and providing services but from which they do not receive revenue to help contribute to the cost of those services.
