HC Deb 17 December 1990 vol 183 c20W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will publish in theOfficial Report a table showing the proceeds for each standard region of a levy of 1 per cent. in the estimated value of dwellings together with the number of (a) children under the age of 18 years, (b) disabled persons, (c) retirement pensioners and (d) other adults.

Mr. Key

The available information is given in the table. The estimated value of dwellings in each region is based on recent data on house sales prices and numbers of domestic hereditaments in each region. This is the best information available but is of limited accuracy. Population data is taken from the Office of Population Census and Surveys 1989 mid year estimates.
