Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 July 2008. It occurred during Legislative debate on Council Tax.
Council Tax
Perhaps the Minister has missed the principle. I served on Newcastle city council when it was capped by a Conservative Government, and I remember the objections from the Labour party and Labour councillors to the principle of central Government making that diktat. Surely, it is up to voters in the local area to make the judgment and decide whether they agree with the decisions and so on, rather than requiring an intervention from Westminster.
