§ Mr. Colvinasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has further plans for helping those commercial ratepayers whose rates have been increased recently.
§ Mr. King:The Local Government Finance Act 1982, which received Royal Assent in July, ensures that all ratepayers are now free from the burden of supplementary rate demands. In addition, as I explained to my hon. Friend in answer to his earlier question on this topic, the Government will take careful account of the interests and problems of non-domestic ratepayers in the proposals we make as a result of our current review of domestic rates.—[Vol. 26, c. 342.]
