§ Mr. ShersbyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he intends to announce details of the rebate of up to 80 per cent. of the community charge to be made available to persons on low incomes; and when information on how to apply for such rebates will be sent to local authorities.
§ Mr. Peter LloydThe detailed arrangements for rebating the community charge are set out in the draft Community Charge Benefits (General) Regulations 1989 which were circulated to all authorities at the end of May. Application procedures, within the terms of these regulations, are a matter for local authorities themselves.
