§ Mr. Boydenasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs how many appeals against the new rating valuations remain unheard; and by what date he expects these outstanding appeals to be determined.
§ Mr. CorfieldAt the end of May, local valuation panels had in hand 309,352 unheard appeals by persons who had made proposals to alter the 1963 valuation lists. Many of these will be settled by agreement before they come to be heard. My right hon. Friend cannot say how long it will take to clear those that must come before a local valuation court.
