Proceeding contribution from Alec Shelbrooke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.


Localism Bill

Does my hon. Friend think it is fair that the Government can impose a cap and say, ““That's it—you're not raising it””, as in his fine example from Medway? Would it not be better to take that to the people and say, ““Do you want to have this rise in council tax which we believe is above a cap?””, when he could argue exactly the case he has argued for Medway?
