Spring Forecast

"Business has been crushed by the taxes brought in by this Chancellor. Just a year ago, in a fairly gloomy forecast by the OBR, it was suggesting 1.8% GDP growth over the forecast period. That has now been reduced to 1.5%. If the central mission of this Chancellor—and supposedly this …..."

Written Question
Council Tax: Rural Areas
Thursday 26th February 2026

Asked by: Graham Stuart (Conservative - Beverley and Holderness)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Local Government Finance Settlement on council tax levels in rural authorities; and what estimate she has made of the additional annual council tax cost for Band (a) A and (b) D households in the East Riding of Yorkshire by the end of the current spending period.

Answered by Alison McGovern - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government)

It is for individual councils to decide their level of council tax based on their local circumstances and other sources of income. For East Riding of Yorkshire Council, the Government has set a core referendum principle of 3% and a 2% adult social care precept for 2026-27. Where referendum principles are in place, councils seeking to set an increase above this threshold must have it approved by voters.

Ukraine

"I entirely agree with every word my right hon. Friend has said. Perhaps an area where we—the previous Government or this one—have not succeeded is in sufficiently sharing, or narrating and telling the story of, the threat to our UK citizens of suffering the barbarity that the Ukrainians are suffering …..."
