HC Deb 04 April 1984 vol 57 c553W
28. Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received in the past three months supporting the domestic rating system.

Mr. Waldegrave

Recent correspondence has focused on our proposals in the Rates Bill. However, more than half of the respondents to the 1981 Green Paper, which discussed alternatives to domestic rates, favoured the retention of a domestic rating system.
