§ 35. Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the progress being made in harmonising rating valuation practices in Scotland with England and Wales.
§ Mr. LangThe task of harmonisation is a complex one, but significant progress is being made and the full extent of this will become apparent in 1990. Our commitment to fairness for business ratepayers north and south of the border is not in doubt, and we intend to see through the programme of reform on which we have embarked.
