HC Deb 20 June 1994 vol 245 c13W
Mr. Straw

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many hereditaments were included in the 1990 non-domestic rating list; and how many appeals against valuation were lodged.

Mr. Gummer

A total of 1.584 million hereditaments were included in English 1990 non-domestic rating lists in April 1990. By the end of March 1994, 1.1 million proposals to alter the list had been made to the Valuation Office Agency, of which 633,000 were against the values originally shown in the list and 467,000 were made following changes in circumstances since the 1990 list came into force.
