Second Homes And Council Tax (EDM1090)

Second Homes And Council Tax

EDM number 1090 in 1999-00, proposed by Andrew George on 26/10/2000.

That this House believes that it is no longer acceptable, under the existing council tax system, to spend Ãº168 million of taxpayers' money a year subsidising the wealthy to have second homes when there are many thousands of people who live in areas of high second home ownerships who do not even have a decent first home; and calls on the Government to bring forward proposals to deal with this anomaly in the forthcoming rural areas White Paper.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
