HC Deb 22 October 1985 vol 84 c126W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement of the Government's policy towards the conclusions contained in the paper entitled "Rates in the Future" published by the council of the Rating and Valuation Association, a copy of which has been sent to him.

Mr. Waldegrave

We shall take account of the association's views in framing our proposals on the reform of local government finance. We hope to announce those in a consultative document around the turn of the year.
