HC Deb 24 November 1987 vol 123 c111W
Mr. Rooker

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if, pursuant to his reply of 2 November, at columns 521–3, regarding households gaining and losing with full replacement of domestic rates by the community charge, he will give figures of the estimated amount of money gained by gainers and lost by losers.

Mr. Peter Walker

It is estimated that both gains and losses from the full introduction of the community charge would each amount to £42 million, net of rebates.

Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what level of community charge would need to be levied in each district of Wales to produce the equivalent revenue to that currently raised by rates.

Mr. Peter Walker

I refer the hon. Gentleman to the estimates of "Community charges including safety net" contained in my answer to the hon. Member for Pembroke (Mr. Bennett) on 24 July at columns643–44.
