§ Mr. Andrew MitchellTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what is his estimate of the total amounts of money to be made available under the community charge reduction scheme to residents in Gedling borough;
100W(2) if he will set out the calculation of the community charge reduction scheme applying to the borough of Gedling.
§ Mr. KeyNo information is yet available on the amount of reduction scheme grant payable to each charging authority. However, if Gedling borough council sets its community charge for 1991–92 at or above £364, a couple who have not moved since 31 March 1990 living in a property of average rateable value could look forward to a reduction of £120 between them; a couple living in a property of half average rateable value could get a reduction of £371 between them.
