Armed Forces: Council Tax
My right honourable friend the Minister for Defence Personnel, Welfare and Veterans (Mr Robathan) has made the following Written Ministerial Statement. Further to the Statement made by my right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Defence (Dr Fox) on 16 May 2011 (Official Report, cols. 25-27) regarding the Armed Forces covenant, I am today announcing that the increase of the rate of council tax relief for service personnel deployed on specified operations overseas from 25 per cent to 50 per cent, 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.
