HC Deb 22 November 1966 vol 736 c257W
Mr. Edward Lyons

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will seek to ensure that in future no increase in the rateable value of any dwelling-house shall be permitted simply because of the installation of central heating therein.

Mr. MacColl

To do as my hon. Friend asks would introduce indefensible anomalies between houses in which central heating formed part of the original equipment and those in which it was subsequently installed.
