HC Deb 06 February 1980 vol 978 c224W
27. Mr. John MacKay

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is satisfied with the present system of rating revaluation.

Mr. Younger

The fact that there have been 109,000 appeals arising from the 1978 revaluation in Scotland illustrates some public dissatisfaction with the system. I am seeking the views of the Scottish Valuation Advisory Council on problems which remain unresolved when outstanding appeals have been decided. Once I have its advice I will consider future arrangements for revaluation.
