asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state in respect of the past ten years the average rate in the £ for all (1) county council areas; (2) county boroughs; and (3) urban districts.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Local Rates.
As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to have it circulated in the Official Report.
The following is the statement:—
TABLE showing average rate in the pound levied in each of the financial years from 1940/41 to 1949/50 by county councils, county borough councils and urban district councils.
