I am very aware of the pressure on small and medium-sized enterprises. Together with my colleague, the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, I conducted a seminar last Monday in my home town at which we met with small business owners and heard precisely what difficulties they face. The Valuation Act 2001(amendment) Bill falls within my remit and I intend to bring it to a conclusion as quickly as I can. It includes a number of innovative proposals in regard to self-assessment, the provision of support by external bodies and so on, which are absolutely essential to the revaluation project. I hope the Bill will be published this year.
