HC Deb 04 December 1972 vol 847 cc1044-6

10.8 p.m.

The Minister for Local Government and Development (Mr. Graham Page)

I beg to move, That the Mines and Quarries (Valuation) (Amendment) Order 1972, a copy of which was laid before this House on 21st November, be approved. I should be delighted to explain in detail the meaning of this order, and why it is necessary to validate the revaluation list, which is coming into operation in 1973, and which will be published on 21st December. But if the House does not require that explanation, I am sure that I can save it time at this time of night.

Question put and agreed to.
