The Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations are clear that the magistrates courts can only consider sending people to prison where the failure to pay is due to wilful refusal or culpable neglect. The Department has no plans to change those provisions.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 19/04/2018 14:48:51 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
