HC Deb 03 February 1986 vol 91 c26W
Mr. Straw

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will set out in the Official Report tables showing net rates as a percentage of income assuming the operation of rebates as at present, and on a basis comparable with the tables at figure 9, page 20 and figure 11, page 25 of Cmnd. 9714.

Mr. Waldegrave

I shall reply to the hon. Member shortly.

Mr. Straw

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment, what assumptions about size of households are made in respect of the information given on page 107 of Cmnd. 9714 as to household incomes.

Mr. Waldegrave

No assumptions have been made about household size. The information on page 107 is based on a sample of actual households derived from the family expenditure survey, with income adjusted to reflect differences in household composition, in the way described in paragraph F14.
