§ Mr. Dobsonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what has been the total rateable value of the National Health Service medical facilities for each local authority in 1981–82 and 1982–83.
§ Mr. Peter Rees[pursuant to his reply, 21 November 1983]: Property in the occupation of the Crown, which includes National Health Service property, is exempt from rates, but contributions in lieu of rates are made on values determined by the Treasury Valuer. In the case of the National Health Service, payments of contributions are made to each local authority by the health authority concerned. I regret that the values, by individual rating authority, cannot be provided without a disproportionate expenditure of time and resources. The equivalent rateable values of all National Health Service hereditaments on which contributions are based throughout Great Britain are as follows:
1 April 1982 1 April 1983 £ million £ million England 60.860 62.241 Wales 2.991 3.011 Scotland 31.764 33.274
§ Mr. Dobsonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what has been the total rateable value of non-National Health Service medical facilities for each local authority in 1981–82 and 1982–83.
§ Mr. Peter Rees[pursuant to his reply, 21 November 1983]: I have today placed a copy of the information for each rating authority in England and Wales in the House of Commons Library.
