HC Deb 21 February 1991 vol 186 c268W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security when he expects to have information on the take-up level of community charge benefit.

Miss Widdecombe

Information on the take-up of income-related benefits such as community charge benefit, can be obtained only from retrospective data. Information about take-up for the first full year of the community charge benefit scheme can be produced only after the results of the 1991 family expenditure survey become available.
