Abolition Of Council Tax Revaluation In England

EDM number 59 in 2005-06, proposed by Caroline Spelman on 17/05/2005.

That this House regrets the effect of council tax revaluation in Wales which saw one in three households move up at least one band; further regrets that council tax has increased by 76 per cent. since 1997; expresses concern that council taxes look set to increase further as a result of revaluation in England, re-banding, including the creation of new top level bands and the continued imposition of unfunded cost-burdens on local authorities; acknowledges the growing level of discontent about council tax bills; and calls on the Government to abort plans for a council tax revaluation in England.

This motion has been signed by a total of 72 MPs.
