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
I do not want to pursue a dialogue with the Minister, but he cannot have it both ways. Either he is saying that capping is an acceptable principle, in which case Labour would have been wrong to oppose it in the Conservative years, or alternatively he must accept the case that I have made, which is that it is wrong in principle, whatever one thinks about the 79 per cent. increase, for central intervention to squeeze out local democratic control.
