HC Deb 11 April 1963 vol 675 c185W
Mr. Lubbock

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what was the amount paid in rates by the occupiers of domestic property in 1951 and 1961.

Mr. Corfield

No analysis of the valuation lists was made before 1955, and I cannot therefore say how much occupiers of domestic property in England and Wales paid in rates in 1951–52. On the latest information I estimate the figure for 1961–62 at about £353,000,000.
