HC Deb 02 February 1966 vol 723 cc254-5W
Mr. L. M. Lever

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government when he will introduce the changes to the present rating system; and what will be the general principles underlying such changes.

Mr. Crossman

The Bill which I expect to introduce in a few weeks' time will make some improvements in the present rating system. But the recasting of local taxation must depend on the future structure of local government, and it is too soon to say on what principles it should proceed.
