§ Mr. Muddasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, following talks between his officials and representatives of the Cornish tin mining industry, any possible formula has emerged for changing the rates liability of tin mines; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. KingSeveral possible changes in the method of assessing tin mines for rating purposes were discussed at the meeting to which my hon. Friend refers. I expect shortly to be in a position to decide whether any change would be appropriate, and what form it might take.
