However, the Government has maintained referendum thresholds to give council tax-payers in England the right to veto excessive increases in a local referendum and council tax this year remains lower in real terms than in 2010. To assist those facing financial hardship, including those in receipt of low incomes, authorities in England are required to have locally designed council tax support schemes in place.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 28/01/2019 17:00:51 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
