Proceeding contribution from Shahid Malik (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 June 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Council Tax Capping (Surrey).


Council Tax Capping (Surrey)

As I have said, I shall give full details on that issue in writing. The authority's papers show that it will have reserves of £9.4 million by the end of 2009-10, of which £5.6 million is not earmarked. It remains a Government priority to keep down the level of council tax increases, and Surrey police authority knew that. It also knew that if it set an excessive increase in 2009-10, it would be at risk of in-year capping and of being required to re-bill.
