HC Deb 15 March 1977 vol 928 c118W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many of the reductions in rateable value arising from Section 45 of the General Rate Act 1967 and applying to 14,242 dwellings on 1st January 1977 were in respect of (a) disabled persons' garages, including sheds for invalid tricycles or wheelchairs and (b) hereditaments with other facilities for disabled people; and how many applications for such reductions in rateable value are in abeyance for garages, including sheds, and other facilities for disabled persons following any uncertainties which may have arisen as a result of the reversal by the House of Lords of the decision of the Court of Appeal in Vandyk v. Oliver.

Mr. Guy Barnett

I regret that the information for which my hon. Friend asks is not available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
