Proceeding contribution from Mark Pritchard (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 March 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Council Tax.


Council Tax

What message does the Minister have for pensioners in my Shropshire constituency, given that they have just had a 4.9 per cent. council tax increase from Labour-led Telford and Wrekin council, and that they no longer have a £200 rebate? Do the Government not realise that such increases are driving many pensioners into poverty?
