Labour politicians have previously failed to confirm if they would change council tax bands, which have remained unchanged since they were created in 1991, despite some areas seeing significant house price increases.
Labour have said they will not change council tax bands if they win the general election. The party has promised to not raise income tax, national insurance or VAT, but has avoided making explicit commitments on other taxes, including council tax bands. However, speaking to Sky News' Breakfast with Kay Burley, Labour minister Jonathan Ashworth said: 'No increase in income tax, no increase in national insurance, no increase in VAT or corporation tax.
Asked by Sky News earlier this month whether he would rule out a council tax review in England, Sir Keir said council tax was 'too high for too many people', and he was 'not wanting to raise tax'.
