§ Mr. Alex CarlileTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the rateable value of the Cefn Lea Park Christian holiday centre, Dolfar, Newton in 1994—95; what it will be in 1995—96; and if he will make a statement.
364W
§ Mr. Nelson[holding answer 8 March 1995]: The rateable value for this centre is £9,400 in 1994–95 and will be £27,535 for 1995–96.
The Government have introduced transitional arrangements to phase in assessments which have been increased. For properties with a new rateable value of £10,000 or more, increases in rate bills will be limited to 10 per cent. plus inflation. The same limits on increases will continue to apply for each year up to and including 1999–2000.
Ratepayers who are dissatisfied with their new assessments may appeal after the new lists come into effect on 1 April 1995.
