The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what plans she has for the adult social care precept in the next five years.

Answered by Jim McMahon

Decisions on future local authority funding will be a matter for the Spending Review and Local Government Finance Settlement in which we are engaged. Ahead of any decisions taken on the tax, the Government will carefully consider the impact on councils and taxpayers. The Government is committed to keeping taxes on working people as low as possible.
