HC Deb 28 March 1985 vol 76 cc339-42W
Mr. Bruce

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish in the Official Report for each local authority area in Scotland the percentage increase in the average rateable values of (a) domestic, (b) commercial, (c) industrial, (d) public utilities and (e) miscellaneous properties as a result of the recent revaluation.

Mr. Ancram

The only complete information available centrally is based on assessors' estimates made at 1 November 1984 of the valuations to be effective from 1 April 1985. The figures for average increases in rateable value have been calculated by comparing 1 April 1985 estimates with 1 April 1984 valuations and thus do not take account of new entries in the valuation roll during 1984–85 nor of appeals settled in that year. The figures for "commercial" and "miscellaneous" subjects could also be misleading due to some reclassification of individual subjects between these categories. Subject to these

Area Domestic per cent. Commercial per cent. Industrial per cent. Public Utilities per cent. Miscellaneous per cent.
