Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Armed Forces Covenant.
Armed Forces Covenant
Can the Secretary of State clarify something? The council tax relief increase from 25% to 50% applies to second homes where service personnel live in MOD properties or in their first homes where they are living in other properties, but is that mandatory for all local authorities in England or does this apply in England, Wales and Scotland? Would it not be better to make the figure 100%, because it is up to the local authority to make that provision if it wants to, and some local authorities in Wales are now doing that?
