§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales, pursuant to his answer of 11 January,Official Report, column 725, what is the total amount payable under the new uniform business rate in each case.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerThe amount payable for each hereditament depends upon both the non-domestic rating multiplier and its rateable value, subject in each case to the operation of the transitional arrangements for non-domestic ratepayers. Rateable values for individual hereditaments are contained in local non-domestic rating lists—they are not held centrally. The calculation of 1990–91 rates bills, having regard to rateable values, the multiplier, the transitional arrangements, and 1989–90 rates bills, is a matter for the relevant charging authority.
