Rating Revaluation

HC Deb 17 July 1979 vol 970 c467W

Mr. John Mackay

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he intends to introduce legislation to cancel the 1983 rating revaluation in Scotland.

Mr. Younger

I am considering whether to seek powers to enable me to defer if necessary the rating revaluation due in Scotland in 1983. I would consult the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities before using any such power.
