HC Deb 25 January 1949 vol 460 cc93-4W
72. Major Gates

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he will make a further statement of policy with regard to the future status and eligibility for promotion of the members of the Incorporated Association of Rating and Valuation Officers when the work of the present valuation offices comes to be taken over by the Board of Inland Revenue, particularly after the first two years have elapsed.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

The Association has been given assurances by, both the Board of Inland Revenue and myself that individuals who hold its qualification at the date of the transfer of the work of rating valuation to the Inland Revenue Valuation Office, or who obtain that qualification within two years from that date, will be regarded as qualifying for advancement in the new rating service on equal terms with those holding other qualifications.
