Mrs. Spelman: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales whether the 2005 council tax revaluation in Wales was revenue-neutral.Quicker to just say "no" surely?
Mr. Hain: The key aim of council tax revaluation and re-banding was not to increase the yield but to redistribute the council tax more fairly across the population of Wales, on the basis of more up-to-date property values.
The increase in council tax levy at Band D in 2005-06 was 3.8 per cent. This was the lowest increase since the introduction of council tax.

I would have expected the Council Tax to have increased by 3-4+% if there was no revaluation, so surely the answer to the question was 'yes'.
