Rejected petition Revoke Regulation 47 of the Council Tax Regulations 1992

The Citizens of England can currently be sent to prison for only one form of civil debt – Council Tax. This power is a hangover from the deeply unpopular and short-lived Community Charge or “poll
tax”, introduced under the Thatcher government in 1990, and scrapped by John Major 3 years later.
