I'm more than happy to support the lead Amendment in this group, as moved by Mark Reckless. This lead amendment was the subject, as Mark said, of much discussion at Stage 2, and Welsh Conservatives are happy to support it. I believe it is sensible to get the Welsh Government's proposals for tax bands on the face of the Bill. It does happen in other places; there's no reason why we couldn't set that precedent here and provide the type of clarity and certainty for practitioners and for stakeholders that they need in any time when you have a transition from one tax regime to another. We know that the Welsh Government believes in the maxim of consistency; that's been set out by the Cabinet Secretary and, indeed, by his predecessor, the current leader of the house. So, in order to aid that transition from the UK system to the Welsh system, having as much information as possible upfront, on the face of the Bill, or however you want to do it, we do think would be beneficial.

Now, that said, I know that the Welsh Government are uneasy about doing this. Perhaps they feel that it ties their hands at too early a point. So, I do wait to see what the Cabinet Secretary has to say in terms of dealing with this issue, and, if a compromise will be that, at a certain set date before this tax, the LTT tax, comes into force in Wales—if at some date we can have certainty of knowing what the tax rates will be then I think that that will be a compromise. But it will be a compromise in the absence of a better way of doing things, and I think we do, as an Assembly, and as we’ve done with Finance Committee, need to have a discussion about exactly how we do proceed with fiscal policy in this place as the devolution of taxes and fiscal powers happens, and a finance Bill at some point in the future would be a model that I think we should look at as a better way of going forward and giving that certainty that people need. But I'm more than happy to support Mark Reckless's amendment.

The subsequent amendment from myself in this group is linked to it, and moves on further from that, whereby we will—. When I find my page—. The amendment provides a transitional arrangement to provide certainty for the property market, and our amendment specifically is linked to the way that rates by the Scottish Government have been set. So, I’m happy to support this.
