HC Deb 23 January 1996 vol 270 c200W
Mrs. Helen Jackson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what impact the last revaluation of rateable values of non-domestic premises for unified business rate purposes has had on bills for sewerage, drainage and water issued by sewerage undertakers in areas where sewerage and water services are provided by separate companies. [10457]

Mr. Clappison

[holding answer 22 January 1996]: Most sewerage undertakers use the general rating valuation list as at 31 March 1990 for charging unmeasured non-domestic premises. For those few companies that use the unified business rate as a basis of charging for water, sewerage and drainage, the impact on bills would vary from customer to customer.
