Miss Widdecombe
The estimated cost of abolishing the 20 per cent. contribution which I gave in my reply to the hon. Member on 27 June at column 519 updated the estimate that I gave in my reply to the hon. Member for Newcastle upon Tyne, East (Mr. Brown) on 2 May at column 328. I wrote to the hon. Member for Newcastle upon Tyne, East on 27 June to draw his attention to the revised estimate.
