Mr. Fraser

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many people in Lambeth are entitled to community charge rebate based on claims for refund of rebate received from Lambeth council; what percentage of charge payers this represents; and what was the percentage of ratepayers who received housing benefit for rates in 1989–90.

Mrs. Gillian Shephard

Information in the detail requested for community charge benefit is not yet available from the local authority. However, approximately a quarter of domestic ratepayers received rate rebates in 1989–90.
