6. Major BARNESasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in the event of an Assessment Committee determining that there must be a re-valuation of the rateable hereditaments in their union, the Government will provide the necessary data for the re-valuation of the railways and collieries in the same way as railway companies and colliery companies would have done before the Government worked or controlled these undertakings?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANColliery owners remain in the management of their respective concerns during the period of the operation of control and are free to furnish Assessment Committees with similar information to that ordinarily furnished in the case of re-valuations made before the period of control. The questions as regards railways should be addressed to the Minister of Transport.
