HC Deb 14 July 1994 vol 246 c766W
Mr. Robert Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many outstanding appeals there are against valuations for business rates administered by the valuation officer in the Harrogate area; and what is the average amount of time before appeals are settled for business rates.

Mr. Curry

As at 30 June there were 1,454 non-domestic rating appeals outstanding in the Harrogate district council area. The length of time taken to settle each appeal depends on the relative complexity of individual cases.
