I have placed in the Library of the House the following list of all the organisations which responded to the Green Paper, "Paying for Local Government" (Cmnd. 9714) and to the consultation paper, "Community Charge: Operational Issues." Most of the responses to the Green Paper include comments in favour of some of the detailed proposals and against others. It is not therefore possible to provide separate lists in the form requested.
