Throughout our debate this afternoon, there have been some interesting ideas about how we could enable exemptions for publicly funded institutions that we do not want to suffer even more financial hardship as an unintended consequence of this Bill. The noble Earl, Lord Lytton, talked about having a different list because there are currently two lists for rateable values across the country; that was one way. The noble Lord, Lord Thurlow, talked about having a new class for some of these properties so that they can be excluded.
