Mrs. Bain

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will now revise the Valuation and Rating (Scotland) Act 1956, particularly Section 8(1) as amended by the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968, Schedule 8, paragraph 36, in view of its importance to disabled people who have to alter their houses in accordance with their needs.

Mr. Millan

I am considering the case for amendment of Section 8(1) of the Valuation and Rating (Scotland) Act 1956 in the light of recent judgments.

Mrs. Bain

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many cases in Scotland in each of the last five years rating relief has been granted to disabled people who have altered their houses according to their needs.
