This Order makes provision for the valuation for the financial year 1993-94 of certain lands and heritages occupied by Caledonian MacBrayne Limited (article 3) (“the prescribed class of lands and heritages”).

The Order prescribes the aggregate amount of the rateable values of the prescribed class of lands and heritages for that financial year at £69,997 (article 5). It also apportions that aggregate amount among local authorities in accordance with the Schedule to the Order (article 6).

The Order provides that the non-domestic water rate shall not be leviable in respect of the prescribed class of lands and heritages for that financial year (article 4).
