The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of reviewing council tax bands.

Answered by Jim McMahon

Future decisions on council tax will be taken at the spending review in which we are fully 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.
