§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment in which European languages his Department's booklet on the council tax is available; and what consideration was given to making it available in further such languages.
§ Mr. Tony BaldryThe information leaflets about the council tax produced by my Department are published in three European languages other than English—Welsh, Greek and Turkish—and nine other languages.
My Department's main aim in producing these leaflets has been to make the council tax easily understood. The final choice of languages was made in the light of consultation with the Central Office of Information.
