§ 53. Mr. RiddickTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many people he estimates will qualify for community charge rebates; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. Gillian ShephardEstimates of the number of people who will receive community charge benefit are being recalculated to take account of the effects of the transitional relief scheme. I shall write to my hon. Friend when the numbers are known. The Department does not produce projections of the number of people who might be entitled to social security benefits.
