I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend the Local Government (Rates) Act 1970 by delimiting the circumstances in which the Minister for Local Government can refuse consent to a rates waiver scheme; and to provide for connected matters.

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
