HL Deb 16 June 1988 vol 498 cc488-9WA
The Earl of Lytton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will give an assurance that under the provisions of the Local Government Finance Bill staffing and other resources available to the Valuation Office will be maintained at a level that will enable them to honour their commitment to undertake quinquennial revaluations.

The Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (Lord Young of Graffham)

Her Majesty's Government will certainly aim to ensure that the resources provided for the Valuation Office will adequately reflect the work they have to do.
