§ Dr. CunninghamTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will update annex D of Cmnd. 9714, to show the impact of the proposed changes in non-domestic taxation using 1987–88 figures.
§ Mr. Ridley[holding answer 17 November 1987]: I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave him on 29 June at column 44 for an assessment of the impact of a national non-domestic rate set at the 1987/88 average poundage. I have no reason at present to change the assessment of the impact of the revaluation contained in annex D of the Green Paper "Paying for Local Government" (Cmnd. 9714).
