Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what consideration she has made of introducing a council tax referendum threshold for town and parish councils with precepts above £100 on Band D.

To date, no referendum principles have been set for town and parish councils. Referendum principles are determined annually and the Government will set out its proposals for 2026-27 later in the year. In doing this the Government will take into account the levels previously set by town and parish councils.
