It certainly is. It is where I am going with my question. Last year, Mid and East Antrim Borough Council set a business rate with a staggering increase of 11·86%. Is the move that I refer to in the Minister's Department a safeguard being brought in by the Department of Finance to protect businesses from that happening in the future?

Assessment
Not analysed
This is the same MLA’s follow-up within the exchange on their own question. It is analysed together with that question and is not counted separately, so one question is never counted twice.
