HC Deb 28 November 1966 vol 737 c36W
Mr. Moyle

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what benefit has accrued to individual ratepayers in the borough of Lewisham from the implementation of the Rating Act 1966; and how this compares with the benefit accruing to individual ratepayers in the borough of Lewisham under the Rating (Interim Relief) Act 1964.

Mr. MacColl

For the first half of this year, rebates totalling some £39,000 have been granted to individual ratepayers in the London borough of Lewisham. Under the 1964 Act individual relief granted by the old Deptford and Lewisham Borough Councils totalled about £150, taking 1964–65 and 1965–66 together.
