§ Mr. DonohoeTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many appeals against valuations against council tax have been lodged; how many appeals have been considered; how many appeals have been successful; and what is the average amount of time taken to consider an appeal against valuation in each valuation area in Scotland.
§ Mr. Stewart[holding answer 5 May 1994): The table provides the available information, which relates to all classes of proposals to change the valuation list made to assessors and subsequent appeals. The table, which is taken from information supplied by assessors, shows the position at November 1993 for all areas, and the position at March 1994 for those areas for which information is, at present, available.
