To ask the hon. Member for Battersea, representing the Church Commissioners, with reference to the Answer of 20 March 2026, to Question 118770, on Church of England: Council Tax, if she will publish a copy of the high-level assessment.

Since publishing the answer to the Hon Member, for Braintree’s Question 118770, the High Value Council Tax Surcharge consultation has opened for submissions.
