The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what information his Department holds on the domestic rates (a) regional and (b) district council rate for each local authority in Northern Ireland in 2026-27.

Answered by Northern Ireland Office

The Regional Rates and District Rates are the responsibility of the Executive and the relevant Local NI Councils respectively. My officials monitor developments and retain relevant information on the setting of both rates throughout the year. This allows the Government to consider in detail how the rates will impact the NI budget and economic investment.
