Local Government Finance

Question
To ask the Deputy Prime Minister if he will place in the Library a copy of the questionnaire sent to local authorities by his Department on the impact of implementing different variations of local government finance reform.
Answer

The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister has made available in the Library of the House copies of a questionnaire issued to a small selection of local authorities about possible practical and timing issues for Local Authorities and IT suppliers related to council tax revaluation in England. We have also provided a summary of the responses which have been submitted to Lyons.As the questionnaire makes clear, the list of reform scenarios it contains was a way of exploring some of the technical parameters relating to practical implementation of council tax revaluation. It should not be taken in any sense as an indication of likely reform options.
