HC Deb 23 January 1930 vol 234 cc324-5
42. Mr. KELLY

asked the Minister of Health what is the total assessable value lost to the rates on sporting rights which are privately held and the sum made up to the local authorities by the Ministry thereon?

Mr. GREENWOOD

Where sporting rights are separately assessed, the valuation is not affected by de-rating, and no value is in consequence lost to the rates. As I informed my hon. Friend in reply to a question on the 21st instant, the question as to the liability of sporting rights in certain other circumstances is the subject of a case which will probably come before the Courts shortly. Figures of the value of such rights are not available.
