HC Deb 24 May 1989 vol 153 cc593-4W
61. Mr. Watts

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what estimates he has of the relative effect of(a) a system of capital value rates plus local income tax and (b) the community charge on an average ward sister.

Mr. Gummer

Last year ward sister's earning £13,000 and living in properties valued at £40,000 would have paid on average about £450 in a system of capital value rates plus local income tax compared to £246 with the community charge.

Country Planning Act 1932 which restrict the planning, development or use of land; some of these applications are opposed.
