Written statement made by Lord Robathan (Conservative) on Wednesday, 29 June 2011 in the House of Commons, on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Armed Forces (Council Tax Relief)
Further to the statement made by my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Defence on 16 May 2011, Official Report, columns 25-27, regarding the armed forces covenant, I am today announcing the increase of the rate of council tax relief for service personnel deployed on specified operations overseas, from 25% to 50%, to commence from 1 July 2011. This further underlines our commitment to rebuilding the armed forces covenant, that unique bond between the armed forces, the Government and the nation.
