§ Mr. Marksasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what arrangements have been made for the next re-valuation of rating assessments; and whether the Report of the Royal Commission on Local Government will be considered before instructions are sent to valuation officers.
§ Mr. Harold LeverValuation officers have been given a provisional programme of work starting early in 1969 and some other preparatory work has already been done. The law requires new valuation lists to be effective from April, 1973, and the work must be put in hand in good time. Further instructions could, if necessary, be given in the light of the Royal Commission's Report.
