HC Deb 23 November 1990 vol 181 c227W
Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the basis of calculation that resulted in Wandsworth receiving the highest cash payment of inner London boroughs from the London residuary body in respect of capital receipts in 1989–90 and Barnet receiving the highest cash payment of the outer London boroughs.

Mr. Key

The distribution of capital receipts by the London residuary body is based on population. The London borough of Croydon received the largest cash payment of the outer London boroughs.

Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what response he has made to the recommendations in the report of the National Association of Citizens Advice Bureaux "Coping with the Community Charge".

Mr. Key

[holding answer 22 November 1990]: Officials in my Department discussed with the National Association of Citizens Advice Bureaux the detail of the report last July. Substantial assistance has also been given to the association towards the creation of an office manual on the community charge for advice bureaux officers.
