Lord Jamieson (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 November 2025

Debate

Fair Funding Review

Contribution

I thank the Minister for her Answer. Additional housing and commercial property come at a cost to councils in both capital and revenue terms, and more than that raised by the additional council tax. Can the Minister explain why this Government are removing the incentive of retained business rates, which will force many councils—which have done the right thing and supported growth—to raise council tax to the maximum and cut their services?
