Mr. Ted Fletcherasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will seek to amend the law relating to the assessment of property occupied by disabled persons so as to enable exemption to be given to ground-floor bathrooms, as is done at present in the case of garages.
§ Mr. MacCollI have been asked to reply.
No. The present exemption under Section 9 of the Rating and Valuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 1955, is not confined to garages. If the hon. Member has a particular case in mind, I should be glad to look into it in conjunction with the Inland Revenue.
