COUNCIL TAX INCREASES

Early day motion 1044, tabled 9 April 2003 by Bob Spink (Conservative). Signed by 2 members.

That this House deplores the policy of the Government to move funds from Essex County Council to other councils, many in the Midlands and North; acknowledges the difficulty that this has caused Essex residents, many of whom will, as a direct result, receive a lower pensions increase than council tax increase; and calls on the Chancellor to redress this situation by giving the people of Essex their money back.

Signatures by party: Conservative 2.
