Dr. Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what plans he has for publicity on the implementation of the Local Government Finance Act 1988(a) around the time of the compilation of the community charges register, (b) around the time of the publication of the community charges register and (c) around the time of issue of the first community charge bills; and how much he plans to spend in (i) 1988–89, (ii) 1989–90 and (iii) 1990–91 on such publicity.

No decisions have been taken on expenditure for subsequent years.
