Labour (Co-op) — Vauxhall and Camberwell Green

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 February 2026

Debate

Local Government Finance

Contribution

I thank the Secretary of State for making that point about council tax and flexibility for local councils. Does he agree with the Local Government Association, which is worried, stating that “council tax is not the solution to the financial challenges facing local government. It places a significant burden on some households”, including the poorest. Does he agree that we should now be looking at council tax reform?
