House of Commons
Sir Christopher ChopeConservative
13 December 2017
The Bill would remove restrictions on principal local authorities in England to set levels of council tax, giving councils more freedom to raise or lower the tax charged to residents. It is aimed at changing how local government raises revenue and could affect household bills and funding for local services.
The bill is at the second reading in the House of Commons, an early stage of passage. If it progresses, it would move to committee, then to report, and finally to the Lords.
