Rating (Empty Properties) Bill

I note the gracious way in which the Minister has acknowledged that consultation will take place on the ““taking the roof off”” issue, but he will remember from Second Reading what we might characterise as the ““windy night”” debate. I should say, for the benefit of Hansard, that that is ““windy night”” as in a night when it is windy, not Wendy Knight, whoever she may be—[Interruption.] From Palma, no doubt—a Balearic dance queen, perhaps. The windy night debate was all about intent. Amendment No. 5 seeks to protect those whose intent to take a roof off is clear. May we have an assurance that intent will be taken into account?
