Mr. Edward M. Taylorasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if the estimate that rates in Scotland would rise by 4 per cent. has proved to be accurate; and what increase there will be this year in the total amount raised in local rates in Scotland compared with 1964–65.
§ Mr. RossNo. The total amount raised in local rates in 1965–66 is likely to be about £10 million more than in 1964–65.
