HC Deb 23 May 1991 vol 191 c571W
Mr. Dewar

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will provide comparable but extended figures for Wales to those put in the Library by the Secretary of State for the Environment on 4 April 1990, deposit 5906, showing, for each local authority area and giving the assumptions made about equalisation, what level of (i) capital value rates, (ii) council tax and (iii) local income tax would be required in order to raise the same amount of revenue as with(a) the 1991–92 community charge, both before and after community charge reduction grant, and (b) the 1991–92 community charge, both before and after community charge reduction grant, but on the basis that the community charge was fully operational without any transitional or related elements.

Mr. David Hunt

I refer the hon. Gentleman to my statement to the House of Commons on 23 April, and to the material which was placed in the Library of the House on that day. This gives full information on the illustrative effect on household bills had the council tax been in place in Wales in 1991–92.
