§ 16. Mr. GillTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the levels of council tax for a band D property in Shropshire and in Powys.
§ Mr. RedwoodThe average headline band D council tax set in Shropshire is £570. The average set in Powys is £304. As my hon. Friend will be aware, these amounts are not comparable because of the different valuation bands and local government finance arrangements applying in Wales and England.
