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

May I just refer to the point that my hon. Friend made about allowing the precept to rise by about 26 per cent? That implies that the grant should have been higher by the amount of the increase in the precept, but the Government are in fact shifting the responsibility from the central taxpayer to the local taxpayer to perform that which central Government should be performing.
