HC Deb 20 February 1990 vol 167 c684W
Mr. Callaghan

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many people in the Greater Manchester area will be eligible for the community charge rebate.

Mrs. Gillian Shephard

I regret that reliable estimates of numbers of recipients cannot be provided on a detailed regional basis. The models used by this Department produce estimates of the numbers of people expected to receive community charge benefit, not of numbers who may be eligible.
