HC Deb 07 February 1990 vol 166 cc632-3W
Mr. Rooker

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what guidance he has given community charge registration officers on the status as students for the purposes of poll tax of members of Her Majesty's forces undergoing courses of training.

Mr. Chope

There has been no specific guidance from this Department on this issue. General guidance on determining eligibility for the student relief is contained in "The Community Charge": Students and the Community Charge" (Community Charge Practice Note No. 23) which has been sent to all community charge registration officers. A copy is in the Library.
