I have today placed in the Library of the House two tables containing details, at local authority level, of (a) the number of hereditaments that were in receipt of either mandatory charity or discretionary community and amateur sports clubs rate relief on their national non-domestic rates as at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 and (b) the amount of mandatory charity or discretionary community and amateur sports club relief granted in 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10.

These data are as supplied annually by local authorities to the Department for Communities and Local Government on national non-domestic rates returns.
