Mr. Corrie
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the average annual rent and rate poundage for all the Scottish districts for 1981–82 and 1982–83.
Mr. Younger
The table following indicates the average annual standard rents for each authority in 1981–82 and, as far as I know, the average standard rents now proposed for 1982–83. Information on rate poundage in 1981–82 is published by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance & Accountancy in 'Rating Review—May 1981' which is available in the Library. Figures for 1982–83 are not at present available.
