HC Deb 19 October 1976 vol 917 cc428-9W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what decision he has reached concerning an amendment of Section 8 (1) of the Valuation and Rating (Scotland) Act 1956 regarding rating relief for disabled people; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Millan

With my colleagues, I am considering urgently what changes are needed to meet judicial criticism of Section 8 (1) of the Valuation and Rating (Scotland) Act 1956. As the English provision is to like effect I am in close touch with my right hon. Friend the Minister for Housing and Construction on the matter.
