HC Deb 06 July 1949 vol 466 c163W
Mr. P. Morris

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the number of additional valuers employed by the Chief Valuer, Inland Revenue, to deal with claims for loss of development rights under the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947, and to assess development charges arising from that Act.

Sir S. Cripps

It is estimated that of the total professional staff of 1,300 in the Valuation Office, the equivalent of about 250 are at present employed in determining development charges. None are yet employed in dealing with claims.
