Proceeding contribution from Viscount Hailsham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 July 2008. It occurred during Legislative debate on Council Tax.


Council Tax

The right hon. Gentleman said that the Home Affairs Committee had received many comments from chief constables to the effect that there are problems with the formula. He is Chairman of the Select Committee, and it might be in its remit, and a useful exercise, to undertake a study of the formula's operation, with particular though not exclusive regard to the interests of some of the shire counties—Lincolnshire is one—where it is believed that the formula does not work fairly.
