§ Mr. DewarTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the grant element used for each local authority in Scotland in calculating the tax liability for a house with two or more adults in that authority area in 1991–92 for the purposes of tables 1 and 2 in the annex to the consultation paper, "A New Tax for Local Government".
§ Mr. Lang[holding answer 26 April 1991]: The illustrative figures were calculated at district level, and for this purpose regional community charge income was apportioned to districts in proportion to the community charge tax base. With grant similarly apportioned to districts, the grant amounts assumed for the purposes of the calculation are set out in the table. The figures allow for revenue support grant, community charge grant and grant under the personal community charge reduction scheme.
