NOTES:
(1) The figures in Column (a) are those given by County Councils for the total number of rated holdings, two or more holdings in the occupation of one rate-payer being counted as one. Primary Allowance applies to all holdings—to the full valuation where this is under £20 and to the first £20 of the valuation where the total is greater than £20.
(2) The figures in Column (b) include the aggregate land valuation of holdings not exceeding £20 land valuation and the aggregate land valuation of the first £20 of holdings exceeding £20 valuation.
