Communities and Local Government
Brownfield Sites
Mrs. Spelman:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government pursuant to the answer to the hon. Member for Tunbridge Wells (Greg Clark) of 6 July 2006, Official Report, columns 1300-10W, on brownfield development, what the figures for 2004 are for each other local authority in England. [85450]
Yvette Cooper:
The information available is from Land Use Change Statistics. I have placed in the Library of the House a table showing the information requested. Figures for the London boroughs were provided in the answer to the hon. Member for Tunbridge Wells (Greg Clark), 18 September 2006, Official Report, columns 2458-63W. In some local authorities the proportions are not reliable enough to be shown for a single year. Proportions are also shown for the period 2001 to 2004 as a whole.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what the annual change was in the level of council tax in each district council in the East Midlands in each year since 1996-97; and if she will make a statement. [95181]
19 Oct 2006 : Column 1420W
Mr. Woolas:
The annual percentage change in the level of council tax by each district council in the East Midlands since 1996-97 is tabled as follows. Figures are based solely on the district's element of the area council tax bill, including parish precepts, and exclude amounts for precepting authorities (such as county, police and fire).
