Rate Equalisation Scheme (London)

HC Deb 12 February 1975 vol 886 cc141-2W

Mr. Loveridge

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has had from the Leader of the London borough of Havering regarding the London rate equalisation scheme; and what reply he has given.

Mr. John Silkin

A letter has been received from the Leader of the London borough of Havering objecting to the proposals of the London Boroughs Association for the rate equalisation scheme which will apply in Greater London for 1975–76. He has been informed that his representations will be brought to the attention of my right hon. Friend later this week.
