The noble Lord, Lord McKenzie, asked that specific question last Thursday, and my noble friend gave this very specific answer: "““The noble Lord, Lord McKenzie, asked whether authorities can campaign for the proposed increase in council tax. No, it is intended that they cannot. They must put the facts to the electorate and leave them to decide but individual councillors will be free to campaign””.—[Official Report, 30/06/11; col. 1971.]"
Is he saying that that stands, or is that not right now?
