Mr Major’s Written Parliamentary Answer on Rate Rebates – 12 May 1986

Below is the text of Mr Major’s written Parliamentary Answer on Rate Rebates on 12th May 1986.


Mr. Raynsford Asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the local authorities in Great Britain in which (a) more than half and (b) more than a quarter of ratepayers receive 100 per cent. rate rebates.

Mr. Major I regret that this information could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
