Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how much additional revenue will be raised through the adult social care council tax precept by an increase of (1) three per cent in 2017–18, and (2) three per cent in 2018–19, for each of the 10 districts of Greater Manchester.
Government has given local councils the flexibility they have asked for to bring forward funding for adult social care. The table shows how much each council in Greater Manchester could raise in each year if they chose to use this flexibility in full alongside the existing 2 per cent referendum principle; whether or not they wish to do so would be a matter for each council.
