§ Mr. Mackintoshasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the number and value of rate rebates granted by each 566W local authority in Scotland up to 16th May, 1967; and what proportion of the ratepayers estimated to be entitled to rate rebates in that period applied for them.
§ Mr. RossFor Scotland as a whole I estimate from the returns so far received that in the two half-yearly rebate periods before 15th May, 1967 about 215,000 rebates were granted, amounting to some £1.7 million. I will send my hon. Friend the figures so far supplied by individual rating authorities, and will write to him about the latter part of his Question.
