HC Deb 21 January 1975 vol 884 c340W
Mr. Ioan Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what the county rate was in each of the eight Welsh counties in 1974–75; and how these figures compare with 1973–74.

Mr. John Morris

The average county rate precepts in each of the Welsh counties in 1974–75 are as follows:

County County precept
p
Clwyd 44.00
Dyfed 43.40
Gwent 47.45
Gwynedd 47.50
Mid Glamorgan 49.11
Powys 43.42
South Glamorgan 43.50
West Glamorgan 48.00

The information for 1973–74 is shown in the booklet "Rates and Rateable Values in England and Wales 1973–74" published by the Department of the Environment and Welsh Office. However, that information is based on the old county structure and is therefore not comparable.
