§ Mr. William Priceasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many people at the present time qualify for rate rebates.
30Wshare of the revenue collected from operators is estimated at roughly 45 per cent. in 1967–68.
§ Mr. Onslowasked the President of the Board of Trade what estimates he has formed of the probable cost to his Department of providing air navigation services at aerodromes other than those controlled by the British Airports Authority for each of the next five years, and the probable receipts in respect of such charges during the same period.
§ Mr. William RodgersFollowing is the information:
§ Mr. SkeffingtonI estimate on the basis of the returns from rating authorities so far received that about 840,000 people in England and Wales received rate rebates in the second half of 1968–69. There is no reason to expect the number who qualify in the current rebate period to be substantially different.
