HC Deb 18 March 1968 vol 761 cc37-8W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what estimate he has formed of the additional cost to ratepayers in the county of Surrey of increases in national insurance contribution

paid by domestic ratespayers of 5d. in the pound in respect of dwelling houses and 2d. in the pound for mixed hereditaments which are predominantly residential. In 1968–69 the reduction will be 10d. and 5d. in the pound respectively. The number of hereditaments in Wales to which the reductions apply is approximately 870,000, and a corresponding number of ratepayers directly benefit.

There was no similar rate reduction for domestic ratepayers in 1963–64.
