§ Mr. Dobsonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the 10 local authorities whose social services departments have experienced most demand from AIDS victims; and if he will state which of them were rate-capped in each year since rate capping began; and if he will give the total rate support grant to each of the local authorities in each year since 1982.
§ Mr. ChopeThe collection of data on the incidence of AIDS is the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Social Services. I understand, however, that the relevant information is compiled by regional health authority, rather than local authority, areas.
