To ask the Secretary of State for Wales (1) what is the estimated cost for each change in poll tax registers; and if he will make a statement;(2) how many changes there have been to poll tax registers in Wales as a result of population movement;(3) if he will list in order the number of districts and boroughs in which there have been changes in poll tax registers;(4) how much it costs to keep poll tax registers up to date; and if he will make a statement.

The table shows the entries recorded by each authority in respect of the community charge register as at 1 December 1989 and as at 15 November 1990. These show the overall changes to the register rather than the number of changes there have been to community charge registers in Wales as a result of population movement.The estimated cost for each change and the costs of updating the community charge register are not held centrally.
