HC Deb 08 May 1991 vol 190 cc528-9W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will state for the financial year 1990–91 how much is still outstanding for collection in the Doncaster metropolitan borough council area in respect of the uniform business rate; and what percentage this represents of the total uniform business rate for the Doncaster metropolitan borough council area.

Mr. Key

By 31 March 1991 Doncaster metropolitan borough council had collected £36.6 million in non-domestic rates, equivalent to 92 per cent. of its provisional contribution to the non-domestic rates pool. My Department does not yet have information about the amount of non-domestic rates collectable by the authority and therefore about the amount of rates outstanding.
