§ John MannTo ask the Deputy Prime Minister how much the Band D council tax is for each constituency in England. [134997]
§ Mr. RaynsfordFigures for the average Band D council tax for each parliamentary constituency in England are not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. This is because the boundaries of most constituencies do not coincide with those of local authorities, and figures are not collected in such a way as to allow reliable estimates for constituency areas to be produced.
It is possible, however, to provide figures for the average Band D area council tax for 2003–04 for each of the billing authority areas lying partly or wholly within each English parliamentary constituency. A table giving this information is available in the Library of the House.
