Mrs Wheeler
The hon. Gentleman poses a really interesting question. I will write to him with an answer.

Currently, town and parish councils are not compensated in the council tax formula grant for providing student discounts, which means that parish councils in villages with large student populations, such as Kegworth in my constituency, are providing services used by students for which there is no precept. Will the Minister look into this inequity?
