Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, pursuant to the Answer of 25 November 2022 to Question 93437 on Council Tax: Christchurch constituency, if he will apologise for his Answer to the hon. Member for Christchurch on 21 November 2022, Official Report, column 18, that he feels more sorry for people outside the Christchurch constituency than he does for people within that constituency who are in council tax poverty and less sorry for people who are relatively older than those who are not.

The Secretary of State has agreed to meet my Hon. Friend to discuss this topic at his convenience.
