Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Stephen Hammond (Conservative). It was answered on Wednesday, 8 June 2005 on behalf of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister.
Local Government
- Question
- Council tax in Wimbledon has risen by 75 per cent. since 1997 and I have received several representations from constituents about the proposed council tax revaluation. Will the Minister confirm to my constituents and the House that the revaluation will not result in another large increase in council tax but will be fiscally neutral?
- Answer
-
I welcome the hon. Gentleman to the proceedings. I would have thought that his constituents would tell him about the increase of nearly £50 million to the London borough of Merton under this Government. I am happy to confirm that we propose a revenue-neutral revaluation. That has been made clear from the beginning.
