§ Mr. KirkwoodTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make it his policy to set a target time in which valuation tribunals in England will complete a council tax band appeal.
§ Mr. Robin SquireWhen the number of council tax appeals arising in 1993 is known, we will agree with the valuation tribunal service and the Valuation Office agency a broad timetable for disposing of them. We will then keep progress under review. Since the time taken to clear 369W individual appeals will vary with the particular circumstances of the case, it would not be practicable to set a specific deadline for each one.
