§ 30. Mr. Bessellasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will instruct superintendent valuers to give information to local authorities as to how valuations were arrived at in areas where there have been large numbers of successful appeals.
§ Mr. MacDermotI assume that the hon. Member is referring to rating valuations, but I am not sure what information he has in mind. Rating assessments are based on the rents which the properties may reasonably be expected to fetch and Valuation Officers therefore arrive at their assessments by reference to rents actually being paid in the locality.
