Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Council Tax (New Valuation Lists for England) Bill.
Council Tax (New Valuation Lists for England) Bill
I accept that what the hon. Gentleman says is true in part, but one problem with his argument is that about a quarter of households that pay council tax—those in council housing, housing association housing or private rented accommodation—do not own the property on which the tax is calculated. To that extent, therefore, it is not a wealth tax.
