COUNCIL TAX BANDING

Early day motion 284, tabled 1 February 2001 by Jane Griffiths (Labour). Signed by 42 members.

That this House notes that the valuation date for house prices used for council tax purposes is 1st April 1991, and that there has been significant movement in property prices since that date; and therefore recommends that the Government instructs the Valuation Office Agency to undertake a reform and revaluation of council tax banding and put in place arrangements for regular revaluations at not more than six yearly intervals.
