§ Mr. MaddenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many local authorities have indicated that they will incorporate the whole or part of the contents of the leaflet, "The Community Charge: The So-Called Poll Tax: How It Will Work For You" in material they are to distribute; and if he will list them.
§ Mr. John Gummer[holding answer 15 May 1989]: The leaflet was not intended for incorporation into other information material although some local authorities have expressed an interest in using it in this way. However, it stands on its own as a concise, accurate and factual introduction to the community charge.
