HC Deb 13 November 1987 vol 122 cc341-2W
Mr. Nicholas Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what would be the estimate charge, on the basis of current expenditure(a) per household and (b) per capita for each Welsh district if a system of local income tax were introduced.

Mr. Peter Walker

The information cannot be provided in this form. However, I have today placed in the Library of the House a table showing the rate of local income tax in each district and the bill for a single person on national average earnings. The figures are based on 1987–88 spending levels and assume full equalisation of income per head between local authorities.
