The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many hereditaments were classified per individual special category codes within the shops sub-sector special category code grouping by the Valuation Office Agency in each of the last ten years for which figures are held.

Answered by James Murray

As part of its official statistics, the Valuation Office Agency publishes the number of hereditaments by special category code under the shops sub-sector for England and Wales for the past 10 years. This can be found under the stock of non-domestic properties collection here: www.gov.uk/government/collections/non-domestic-rating-stock-of-properties-collection

For each year from 2019 onwards, the table ‘Stock Scat’ shows the data as at 31 March each year. Prior to 2019, the data is shown within the ‘NDR Stock of Properties’ tables.
