HC Deb 25 January 1973 vol 849 cc211-2W
Mr. Meacher

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer under the £1 plus 4 per

which are designated to form Metropolitan District 6D of West Yorkshire;

(2) what is the average percentage increase in the property revaluation of domestic and industrial/commercial properties, respectively, in each of the local authorities which are designated to form Metropolitan District 12G (Oldham) of the Greater Manchester Metropolitan County;

(3) what is the average percentage increase in property revaluation for domestic and industrial/commercial properties, respectively, in England; and what are the corresponding figures for each of the regions.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

Final figures by categories of ratepayers are not yet available centrally but on the basis of preliminary estimates rateable values in England have increased on average 2.57 times for domestic property and 2.48 times for non-domestic property. The estimates are not available by regions and are insufficiently reliable for individual rating areas, or for new district councils incorporating individual rating areas.
