The data for members of the public for 2001–02 are not available for release as the information is due for publication on 10 December 2002 and is therefore subject to exemption 10 of the Code of Practice on Access to Government information.

Owing to the implementation problems with the NIRS2 computer system, the 1995–96 tax year is the latest year for which precise information is available.

When more up-to-date information is available I shall write to the hon. Member and place my letter in the Libraries of both Houses.
