HC Deb 15 May 1972 vol 837 cc27-8W
Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list those local authorities who have objected to him about the increase in rating assessment of houses and flats after central heating has been installed.

Mr. Graham Page

I can trace only one such objection, from the Urban District Council of Felling.

Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will seek power to prevent any increase in rating assessment when central heating has been installed in houses or flats.

Mr. Graham Page

I am considering this matter in the current review of local government finance.
