§ 23. Mr. Cyril W. Blackasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government when it is proposed to proceed with the revaluation of properties for rating in accordance with the provisions of the Local Government Act, 1948.
§ Mr. H. MacmillanThe work of revaluation is already in progress, but I cannot yet say when it will be completed. I hope to be able to make a further statement about this shortly.
§ Mr. BlackWill my right hon. Friend bear in mind that a large number of people are employed in this revaluation in one way and another, and that most competent people think that the new basis of valuation is quite unworkable in any case?
§ Mr. MacmillanI am considering this with many other problems. This is only one of the skeletons that hang from my ceiling.
