HC Deb 17 May 1976 vol 911 cc394-405W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what is the total rateable value, domestic rateable value and non-domestic rateable value for each local authority district in England;

(2) what is the average domestic rate bill for each local authority district in England in 1976–77.

Mr. Guy Barnett

The latest rateable values available are those for 1st April 1975. These, together with the average domestic value for each district in England, are listed below, with the average domestic rate bill for 1976–7. I would also draw my hon. Friend's attention to my reply of 29th April to the hon. Member for Exeter (Mr. Hannam) — [Vol. 910, c. 170–7.] —which lists the average value to a household of the rate support grant domestic element.
