§ Mr. MichaelTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales (1) if he will list the figures by which an individual would be protected by the safety net against the full effects of the poll tax in each local authority area in Wales, showing against each the equivalent figure based on his written answer on 12 June,Official Report, columns 304–6;
(2) whether, further to his written answer on 12 June, Official Report, columns 304–6, he will list the community charge he estimates will apply to each local authority area in Wales (a) without safety net and (b) with safety net.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerNo. The review of standard spending assessments has yet to be completed and the precise details of the safety net have yet to be settled. I agree with the Welsh local authority associations that it would be misleading to produce illustrative figures until consultation on these matters has been concluded.
