HC Deb 16 May 1950 vol 475 cc136-7W
Mr. Baker White

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the estimated establishment required in the professional grades of senior rating valuer, and valuers grade I, grade II and grade III in planning the new rating valuation organisation within the Valuation Office of the Board of Inland Revenue; and how many appointments have been made in each grade.

Sir S. Cripps

It is estimated that in order to complete the work of revalution it may be necessary to recruit in all 75 senior rating valuers, 175 rating valuers grade I. 200 grade II and 250 grade III. The numbers of appointments made to these grades by 1st May, 1950, were 37, 69, 166 and 277 respectively. It has been possible to recruit more grade III valuers than the authorised complement requires, but as promotions are made from this grade to higher grades the distribution will be corrected.
