To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what guidance her Department has provided to local authorities on issuing bankruptcy orders in pursuit of council tax arrears; how many local authorities have issued such orders; and how many such orders have been issued in total by local authorities since 1991-92.
The Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations 1992 (SI 1992/613) provide local authorities with a range of powers to enforce payment of council tax from those who refuse to pay. The Department does not issue guidance to local authorities on the issuing of bankruptcy orders or hold information on the number of orders issued by local authorities.
