answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2017 answer text <p>The Government is committed to assisting care leavers. It has given councils the flexibility to support vulnerable groups, including care leavers, to help manage their council tax bills. We wrote to all councils in 2016 to remind them of the powers they had under the Local Government Finance Act 1992 to support vulnerable groups. A number of councils have already taken the decision to support care leavers through an exemption or discount on their council tax bills.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 06/11/2017 17:41:31 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones
