HC Deb 23 October 1968 vol 770 cc277-8W
15. Mr. Edward M. Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has for reforming the rating system; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Dickson Mabon

Possible new or improved methods of financing local services will be considered in the light of what emerges from the Royal Commission on Local Government. We have already introduced the rate rebate scheme and the preferential rate for householders.
