HC Deb 06 December 1983 vol 50 c92W
Mr. Wilson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when placing a value on a public sector house, what criteria are used by the district valuer.

Mr. Peter Rees

The district valuer has regard to the provisions of the Housing Act 1980 or the Tenants' Rights Etc (Scotland) Act 1980, as appropriate. The primary consideration is open market value with vacant possession, excluding any improvements the tenant may have made.
