PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
Welsh Poll Tax (26 January 1990)

That this House condemns the Secretary of State for Wales for his bitter and intemperate attack on those Welsh local authorities who have been forced to set poll tax charges above Welsh Office guidelines because of the imposition of unrealistic spending targets, like the Vale of Glamorgan Borough Council, one of only two Conservative controlled district councils in Wales, who have recommended a poll tax levy over one third higher than the Welsh Office target despite 10 years of trimming back services.
