§ Mr. PendryTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish a list of the areas that are being considered as part of his Department's further430W analysis of its survey into the granting of discretionary rate relief to voluntary sports clubs; what is the timetable for this further analysis; and by what date his Department will review its guidance to local authorities on discretionary rate relief to voluntary sports clubs.
§ Mr. KeyThe further analysis is of the policy statements provided by charging authorities about the way in which they granted discretionary rate relief in 1990–91 to charities and other non-profit making bodies including sports clubs. We expect the analysis to be complete by mid-February. Depending on the results of this analysis, and taken with details of the numbers of properties granted relief in 1990–91, we will decide whether our guidance to authorities needs to be reviewed. We expect to announce our conclusions following consideration of the analysis.
