HC Deb 17 January 1972 vol 829 c47W
85. Mr. Iremonger

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress has been made by the independent team set up as a result of discussions between his Department and local authority associations to examine the function of valuers in local government; and if he will invite the team to make special reference in its report to the references to London County Council valuers by Lord Justices in the case of Young v. the Greater London Council.

Mr. Graham Page

Arrangements have been made between the Department of the Environment and associations of local authorities for a joint investigation to be undertaken under an independent chairman into the respective rôles of the district valuer and local authority valuers in relation to local authorities' land transactions. I am sure that the team will take into consideration all matters relevant to the investigation.
