§ Mr. KirkwoodTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) if he will estimate the average increases in rateable value that will result from the commercial revaluation due in Scotland in 1990 for each rating authority in Scotland;
(2) if he will break down the expected increases in rateable value into districts, towns and parts of towns within each rating area and show deviations expected from the average figures for each area.
§ Mr. LangNo estimates are yet available of the likely average increases in rateable value at the 1990 non-domestic revaluation in Scotland. The assessor for each valuation area is required to provide, by 1 November 1989, to the relevant rating authorities and to the Secretary of State an estimate of the rateable valuation in 1990 of each district or island area, and the detailed information requested will not be held centrally.
