HC Deb 28 April 1969 vol 782 cc187-8W
Mr. E. Rowlands

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many people have paid betterment levy in Wales under the Land Commission Act; and what is the total amount collected.

Mr. George Thomas

Up to 16th April, 1969, £414,874 had been received from 1,109 receipts.

Mr. E. Rowlands

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will give an estimate of the cost in Wales of making retrospective to the date of the coming into force of the Land Commission Act the Government's proposals on exemption from betterment levy, and of the number of individual cases involved.

Mr. George Thomas

Reliable figures for particular offices are not yet available but very approximately the figures for Wales would be £150,000 from 1,000 cases.
