Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Gordon Henderson and Marcus Jones

Monday 24th October 2016 Commons Chamber

[Mr Jones]

I am aware that the rateable values of certain types of rooftop solar insulation are increasing under the revaluation. However, there are many factors that determine the rateable value of a property, and the installation of solar panels is only one element. Many will see an increase in the rateable value of their solar panels but see their overall rates bill reduced. That said, I hear what my hon. Friend has said and I am more than willing to meet him and local representatives of the industry.
