HC Deb 19 February 1975 vol 886 c1450
Mr. Millan

I beg to move Amendment No. 9, in page 8, line 11, at beginning insert: 'Subject to the provisions of any other enactment'. This is basically a drafting amendment. The general rule is laid down in Clause 7(1) that rates are to be levied according to the rateable value in the valuation roll, but there are certain properties which have been entered on the rolls but for which rates are not levied—for example, churches, church halls and a number of others. This provision relates to rating relief for charities and the rest. The amendment is needed to make it clear that what we are saying does not override the other enactments which provide for these various exceptions or exclusions.

Amendment agreed to.
