Local Taxation — 10 Feb 2004 at 18:49

Sandra Gidley MP, Romsey voted in the minority (Aye).

I beg to move,

That this House believes council tax is unfair, should not have been introduced and should be replaced by a system that reflects people's ability to pay.

I beg to move, To leave out from "House" to the end of the Question, and to add instead thereof:

"welcomes the current work of the Balance of Funding review of how local government in England is funded; notes that the review is receiving evidence on a number of possible reform options suggested in public consultation; awaits with interest the report of the review in summer 2004; and urges local authorities to set budgets for 2004–05 which deliver value for local taxpayers."

Question put, That the original words stand part of the Question:-

The House divided: Ayes 53, Noes 435.
