HC Deb 16 April 1975 vol 890 cc98-9W
27. Mr. Durant

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will now consider introducing proposals to alter the basis of the rate rebate formula in relation to mixed hereditaments, in order to assist small shopkeepers.

Mr. John Silkin

No, but a rate rebate may now be granted on the domestic part of any property. This has already helped many shopkeepers.
