Thank you, Chair, and thanks ever so much for coming in this afternoon. I suppose it's up to me, now, to ask the final questions, but I suppose we always save the best till last. I wanted to touch upon something I asked the valuation office earlier…

Thank you, Chair. It was just to back to you, Councillor Morgan, there. I know Newsquest have raised concerns about this and the impact it will have on local news and local journalism. Is that something you recognise? My view is that local news, the…

I suppose this brings me on to a last question in terms of local authorities budgeting for it. Have you been given an idea of the cost implications that this will have for you? And do you need or do you expect there to be more money coming from the Welsh…

Okay. I think that makes sense and, as you say, the amount of businesses that have no engagement because they come under the threshold—. If I can turn to council tax then, obviously, we discussed there businesses having the three-year review; with residential…

I can well remember, during COVID payments, the amount of businesses in my ward that were coming forward basically trying to get a revaluation from the valuation office because of the implications that it was having there. So, does anyone else have anything…

Thank you, Chair, and thanks ever so much for coming in this afternoon now. It’s so nice to see you, Matthew. I well remember the e-mail exchanges we used to do about council tax rates, so it’s good to finally put a face to a name. I suppose I just wanted to…

The issue that I have then also is—and I remember reading an article about it—that, proportionally, the house prices that have increased the most tend to be in less affluent areas, paradoxically, I think, and then that's the concern my end, then. If I look at…

Perfect. Brilliant. Thank you for that. I suppose the concern that I always have—and I suppose it's always there when you're looking at reform—is about the timing. A lot of the current valuations are two decades old—house prices were different then to what…
