HC Deb 13 May 1988 vol 133 c262W
Mr. Alan Williams

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, pursuant to his reply of 6 May to the hon. Member for Torfaen (Mr. Murphy),Official Report, columns 597–98, if he will publish in the Official Report a table showing the estimated community charge and the average rate bill in each authority for units of (a) one adult, (b) two adults, (c) three adults and (d) four adults.

Mr. Peter Walker

Estimates of the total of the community charges payable in households with different numbers of adults can be obtained by multiplying the illustrative community charge figures, given in the reply of 6 May by my hon. Friend to the hon. Member for Torfaen (Mr. Murphy), by the number of adults in the household. Information on which to base comparable estimates of average domestic rate bills for such households is not available.
