HC Deb 27 March 1981 vol 1 c451W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will issue a circular on the powers of local authorities to charge commercial rates on houses that are used as holiday homes.

Mr. King

I have no reason to think that local authorities are not already aware of the powers which are available to them to withhold domestic rate relief from houses and flats used as holiday homes.
