Business question from Maria Miller (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 November 2005. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
Will the Leader of the House arrange an urgent debate on council tax funding? The south-east county councils, including Hampshire, which is my home county, have just launched a save our services campaign to highlight the fact that throughout the south-east people will pay more in council tax this year but get less in services. In Hampshire, there could be cuts of up to £20 million this year alone, which would mean significant cuts in important services for my constituents. Is it not time for an urgent debate on this issue or, to echo my hon. Friend the Member for Epsom and Ewell (Chris Grayling), is it just another example of barmy Britain?
