Mr. Blunkett

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his estimate of the numbers of single people with incomes of over £50,000 per annum who will qualify for a 25 per cent. discount under his council tax proposals.

Mr. Portillo

I have no estimate of the numbers of single people with incomes of over £50,000 per annum who will qualify for a 25 per cent. discount when the council tax is introduced.

Mr. Blunkett

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his estimate of the size of the council tax bill on a property located in Westminster worth £1,000,000 in April 1991 with(a) two or more adults and (b) one adult.

Mr. Portillo

Illustrative council tax bills based on 1991–92 budgets were published and placed in the Library on 23 April 1991. I have made no subsequent estimates.
