§ Sir C. FALLSasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether he will issue the necessary demand forms to rating authorities earlier than in the month of March, seeing that in the case of the Enniskillen Urban District Council, owing to delay in receiving demand forms, the contribution was not received within the financial year, although attention had been called on several occasions to the loss and inconvenience caused by seemingly unnecessary delay in this respect?
Mr. GUINNESSAs soon as conditions have become more settled as regards occupation of premises it is hoped to resume the normal course of issuing forms to the local rating authorities in Northern Ireland for the purposes of claiming the Government contribution in lieu of rates early in the rating year.
