HC Deb 12 July 1972 vol 840 c357W
55. Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what conclusions the current review of local government finance has come to about the need to prevent any increase in rating assessment when central heating has been installed in houses or flats; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Graham Page

Consultations have taken place about the wide range of issues outlined in the Green Paper about local government finance, including the rating assessment of domestic property following the installation of central heating. The Government's proposals for the reform of local government finance will be published in due course.
