§ Mr. Nicholas BennettTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what estimate he is able to give as to the Welsh non-domestic rate in 1990–91 on the basis of present local government expenditure plans; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Grist[holding answer 7 July 1988]: On the basis of current rateable values, a national non-domestic rate of 257.6p would give the same yield as that estimated to be raised from non-domestic rates in Wales in 1988–89.
