Council Tax
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what discussions he has had with relevant stakeholders on capping parish council precepts.
Answered by Alison McGovern
To date, no referendum principles have been set for town and parish councils. The Government reviews this decision on an annual basis, taking into account the increases set by the sector. The Government consults on its proposed package of referendum principles as part of the provisional local government finance settlement each year.
