HC Deb 30 March 1983 vol 40 c171W
Mr. Arnold

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many of the representations he has received concerning changes in the domestic rating system have advocated changes in the structure of local government; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Giles Shaw

This information is not available. Our analysis of the responses to the Green Paper, "Alternatives to Domestic Rates", was directed to the options for the reform of the rating system which it discussed. However, many respondents also advocated changes to the present local government structure.
