HC Deb 30 January 1995 vol 253 cc536-7W
Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make it his policy to ensure that students sharing private sector accommodation with non-students are not held liable for the unpaid council tax of such non-students.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

I do not propose to change the rules on residents' joint and several liability for the payment of council tax. It is for the members of a household to determine how the council tax bill should be paid.
