Question
Will the Cabinet Secretary name each of the aerial and street view photography sources or suppliers used to date in relation to the Valuation Office Agency's work for the Welsh Government on an automated valuation model for a council tax revaluation?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Constitution and Cabinet Office
This information is not held by the Welsh Government. The Valuation Office Agency - an executive agency of HMRC - is the statutory body which values properties for council tax purposes in Wales (as it is in England). It is independent of the Welsh Government. The methodology used to value properties across England and Wales for a range of purposes, is a matter for them.
