HC Deb 03 February 1965 vol 705 c288W
52. Mr. G. Campbell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is his estimate of the percentage increase in the amount which it will be necessary to raise in rates in Scotland in the first year of operation of the General Grant (Scotland) Order, dated 8th December, 1964, over the previous year.

Mr. Ross

About 6 per cent., but because of increased rateable value from new property the average rate poundage should increase only by about 4 per cent.
