Written Answers - Rates Yields.

asked the Minister for the Environment if he will give in 1988 figures the total yield from domestic rates for all counties and county boroughs for the last complete year before the phasing out of health and housing charges as a burden on the rates.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 169 and 170 together.
Nineteen hundred and seventy-six was the last year in which domestic rates were fully payable. Statistical information available to my Department does not enable rates on domestic property to be distinguished from rates on other buildings prior to 1977, when reliefs of domestic rates commenced.

asked the Minister for the Environment if he will give in 1988 figures the yield from rates on land for the last complete year for which they were payable.

asked the Minister for the Environment if he will give in 1988 figures the yield from rates on land for the last complete year for which figures are available if full health and housing charges had not been phased out as a burden on the rates.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 171 and 172 together.
Nineteen hundred and eighty-two was the last year in which rates were payable on land. The amount of such rates collected in 1982 expressed in current (1988) terms was £8.63 million.
An estimate of what individual rate levels might have been in 1982 had health and local authority housing charges not been removed would be largely speculative.

asked the Minister for the Environment the total yield from rates on commercial property for each county and county borough in 1988 figures for the last complete year for which these figures are available; and the amount by which that figure would have been increased if full health and housing charges had not been phased out as a burden on the rates.
The year 1986 is the last year for which final rate collection figures are available. The collection of rates on commercial and industrial property, etc., for each county and county borough adjusted for inflation to 1988 levels is set out in the following tabular statement. An estimate of what individual rate levels might have been in 1986 had health and local authority housing charges not been removed would be largely speculative.
Amount of rates collected in 1986 expressed in current (1988) terks; using inflator of 6 per cent for the two year period.
