Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister – in the House of Commons at 4:01 pm on 8 February 2012.
I am very grateful to the Minister. In previous years, the Government’s council tax freeze moneys were paid as part of the funding formula, but this year, there is a one-off payment. Does that mean that councils such as Tameside that decide to freeze council tax in the forthcoming year will have difficult decisions to make the following year?
