§ Mr. Teddy Taylorasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a table showing in respect of each district in Scotland the combined regional, district and water rate poundage payable by householders taking domestic derating into account in 1977–78 and 1976–77 respectively: and if he will indicate in each case and in respect of Scotland as a whole the percentage by which the total rate poundage in 1977–78 exceeds the poundage levied in 1976–77.
Mr. Milian, pursuant to his reply [Official Report, 26th April 1977; Vol. 930, c. 289], gave the following information.
The following table shows total domestic rate poundages, including domestic water rate, for 1977–78 within each district and islands area, and for purposes of comparison those for 1976–77. The increase for Scotland as a whole is 13 per cent. for domestic ratepayers compared to 14 per cent. for ratepayers as a whole.
