In 1990–91 the estimated cost of relief is £300 million. Transitional relief will be phased out over a three-year period. The arrangements for future years are that in 1991–92 the amount of relief granted to an individual in 1990–91 will be reduced by 25p a week and by a further 25p in 1992–93. The cost of relief in 1991–92 is estimated to be £230 million and in 1992–93 £180 million.
