HC Deb 03 November 1988 vol 139 c750W
Mr. Kirkwood

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he proposes any steps to harmonise the system of rating of sporting rights that applies in Scotland with the system of rating that currently applies in England and Wales; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Lang

The Government have undertaken to consider whether changes are needed in the rating of sporting rights in England and Wales and in Scotland, but I cannot at this stage anticipate our conclusions.
