HC Deb 14 December 1966 vol 738 cc84-5W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the estimated annual value of the remission of rates to the agricultural industry in each of the last six years.

Mr. Ross

As agricultural lands and heritages have not been valued for rating since 1960–61, this information is not available. In that year 87½per cent. de-rating reduced the rateable value of agricultural subjects by about £5,800,000.
