§ Mr. Higginsasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many appeals against rating assessments in Worthing remain undecided; and when all of them are likely to have been heard.
§ Mr. MacCollBy 12th March, 3,206 appeals against assessments in the 1963 lists for Worthing had been received by the West Sussex Local Valuation Panel: 1,616 remain to be decided. If the present rate of progress can be maintained, the appeals with the panel should be cleared within 18 months, but this may prove difficult to achieve as the outstanding cases are likely to include more that are contentious.
