VIDEO: LibDem minister praises Harlow Conservatives

Today the LibDem Minister for Local Government agreed with me that freezing Council Tax was the best thing local Councils can do to help those with low incomes.

He went on to praise the Conservative Harlow council for freezing council tax not just for one year, or for two years - but for THREE YEARS RUNNING.

Please read my question and his answer below:

Robert Halfon (Harlow): Is it not the best way to help those on low incomes to freeze council tax, and is the Minister aware, that Harlow Conservative Council has frozen Council Tax not just for one year or two years, but for three years?


Local Government Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Andrew Stunell OBE): Clearly a good way of reducing the cost to the state, the Council Tax benefit system and the cost to the house holder is to freeze council tax. And I commend his Council for the work they've done.
