Julie Cooper – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Julie Cooper on 2016-03-23.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if his Department will offer tax relief on home insurance payments for occupants of council housing.

Mr David Gauke

The Government’s preferred policy is to take people out of tax through higher personal allowances, and to lower tax rates when it is affordable to do so.

The Government has already pledged to raise the personal allowance to £12,500 by the end of this parliament.
