I move amendment No. 8a:

In page 7, between lines 30 and 31, to insert the following subsection:

"(5) An individual who on a liability date is the owner of a residential property shall not in respect of that residential property be liable to pay the charge relating to it for that liability date if--

(a) the property in question is the only residential property owned by the individual,

(b) the individual resides, for the purposes of employment at a greater distance from the residential property that would deem it inappropriate for the individual to commute from his or her residential property to his or her place of work.".
