§ 60. Mr. Crouchasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many forms are sent to the owners of properties for the new rating valuation both before and after a return has been made.
§ Mr. GaitskellNone, except the return itself, unless an owner objects to an entry in the draft valuation list, in which case he will be asked to complete a form of objection and, if he wishes to proceed later to appeal, an appeal form.
§ Mr. CrouchIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that in our area a great number of these forms have been sent out in duplicate? I have in my hand two that were sent to me three weeks after I had completed and returned the original form. Is this an attempt to see whether a mistake was made in filling up the first form?
§ Mr. GaitskellNot so far as I am aware, but perhaps the hon. Gentleman would let me have the particulars.
