60. Mr. Mclnnesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is satisfied with the progress of revaluation at present being carried out in Scotland; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Maclay:I have no reason to suppose that revaluation is not progressing satisfactorily, but I am watching the position very closely.
§ 67. Mr. Gourlayasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware that many local authorities and occupiers are perturbed at the lack of information in respect of revaluation; and whether he will take steps to ensure that the assessors release the new notices of assessment to occupiers at the earliest opportunity.
§ Mr. Maclay:I know that many people are anxious to know the outcome of revaluation and I hope to receive provisional estimates from assessors at the end of this month. Assessors are proceeding as quickly as possible in the circumstances of their areas with the issue of individual notices.
