RIBBLE VALLEY AND POLL TAX BENEFIT

That this House congratulates the voters of Ribble Valley and Eastbourne for their achievement in making inevitable the end of the poll tax; believes that the new cuts in the poll tax announced by Her Majesty's Government will be known as the Ribble Valley Benefit; notes that the poll tax was killed off as it should have been by democratic action through the ballot box; and suggests that the benefits of voting Liberal Democrat are triumphantly self-evident.
