HC Deb 22 June 1967 vol 748 cc321-2W
61. Mr. Gower

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what extra financial compensation he has approved or will approve, for the Cardiff Rural District Council, to assist them in meeting the problems caused by the reduction in rateable value and rates income due to the recent loss of areas affected by the Cardiff Order.

Mr. Ifor Davies

This issue was not raised at any time during the preparation of the Cardiff Order and the Order contained no provision for transitional arrangements. The rateable value per head of population is actually higher now than before the boundary change.
