HC Deb 25 January 1991 vol 184 cc333-45W
Mr. Gwilym Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales (1) if he will list all the communities in Wales which will benefit from the new community charge reduction scheme which he is introducing in 1991–92; and if he will indicate those communities which did not previously qualify for transitional relief;

(2) if he will estimate the amount of community charge reduction in 1991–92 for each of the local councils in Wales.

Mr. Nicholas Bennett

Information on the communities benefiting from the reduced community charges under the transitional relief scheme and/or the community charge reduction scheme are given in the following table. Compared with 1990–91 the amount made available by the Government for reductions in community charges in Wales has been increased by £42 million to £62 million; the number of qualifying communities has increased from 323 to 612 and the number of chargepayers who are expected to benefit has increased from around 750,000 to around 1.4 million out of a total of 2.1 million.
