§ 76. Sir T. Beamishasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is aware that the wording of the form of notice LVP 17/1, and especially the use of the word "appoint" is misleading and if he will take early steps to amend it so that ratepayers understand their right to ask someone else, who need not be a professional person, to appear on their behalf at a local valuation court.
§ Mr. SkeffingtonThe form tells the ratepayer that he may state his case himself or appoint some other person to do so on his behalf. The other person need not be professionally qualified and use of the term "appoint" does not imply that he must be.
