HC Deb 28 April 1978 vol 948 cc720-1W
Mr. Rifkind

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what estimate he has made of the difference in rateable value of comparable premises in Scotland and England as a result of the revaluation that is to take effect in Scotland from 1st April 1978.

Mr. Millan

None. The current Scottish valuation roll was made up as at 1st January 1978; the current English valuation lists date from 1973. It would be difficult to make a valid comparison between valuations made under different laws and on rental evidence five years apart.
