HC Deb 29 April 1971 vol 816 c185W
54. Mr. Robert Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will seek to amend the classification of industrial training boards as educational charities and thereby relieve ratepayers of the obligation to subsidise the boards by the 50 per cent. mandatory relief on the premises which they occupy.

Mr. Graham Page

I shall be examining the question of rate relief to charities, including educational establishments such as industrial training boards, in the current review of local government finance.
