Proceeding contribution from Lindsay Hoyle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Council Tax (New Valuation Lists for England) Bill.


Council Tax (New Valuation Lists for England) Bill

My hon. Friend makes a valid point. She mentioned alternatives. One alternative is an income tax to replace council tax, as other parties may suggest. Does she agree that that would place a burden on the poorest council tax payers, and that it is the wealthiest who would benefit? That is a danger, and it is why we must get this right tonight.
