HC Deb 05 July 1966 vol 731 cc40-1W
51. Mr. Leslie Hale

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government by what authority rates are being collected upon half a house in the County of Lancaster and the remaining half in the County Borough of Oldham; and why neither half qualifies for rate rebate.

Mr. Crossman

The law recognises as a rateable hereditament a part of any property which lies within a single rating area; in this case the occupier does not qualify for rebate because the rates on each part are below £3 15s. 0d. per half year.
