HC Deb 10 May 1993 vol 224 cc347-8W
Mr. Burns

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many houses/dwellings are there in each council tax band in the Chelmsford parliamentary constituency; and how many people in each council tax band qualify for the 25 per cent. single person's discount.

Mr. Robin Squire

Information for Chelmsford parliamentary constituency is not available. However, comparable information for the area of Chelmsford district council is available, as follows:

Council tax band Number of dwellings Number of single person discounts
A 3,980 2,430
B 7,890 4,150
C 19,110 5,210
D 14,510 2,770
E 8,660 1,240
F 4,320 490
G 3,230 370
H 250 30
Total 61,960 16,680

Notes:

Totals may not sum owing to rounding. The figures for numbers of dwellings reflect the valuation list sent to Chelmsford district council as at 1 December 1992. Estimates for the number of single person discounts are derived from the number of dwellings shown on the community charge register at 1 December 1992 as containing only one non-student chargepayer on 1 June 1992.
