This additional flexibility has enabled those PCCs with the lowest precept bills to achieve similar increases, on average, in band D level to those in the highest quartile.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 11/10/2017 16:54:09 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
