Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of making care homes non-exempt from the High Value Council Tax Surcharge on care home financial viability, the level of care received by care home residents and local authority finances.

The Government is currently consulting on its proposed list of discounts and exemptions for the High Value Council Tax Surcharge; this includes care homes.
