§ Mr. Adleyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, in the absence of specific alternatives to the domestic rating system, he will consider the implications of undertaking an experiment in certain areas, subject to discussion with, and the agreement of, the relevant district and county councils, along the lines o f one or other of the proposals outlined in his Department's Green Paper on alternatives to the rating system.
§ Mr. Giles ShawI do not think that such experiments would usefully add to the urgent consideration that the Government are giving to the various options following consultation on the Green Paper.
