Proceeding contribution from Annette Brooke (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 February 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Local Government Funding (Poole).
Local Government Funding (Poole)
Does the hon. Gentleman agree that the continuing poor settlement year after year along with exactly the same cost pressures, such as the increasing wages that are a big component of local government expenditure, inevitably means that there have to be cuts in sectors in which costs are rising steeply? For example, there are cuts across the board, including cuts in social and respite care in social services. Does he share my concern that our constituents will lose out big time if this continues year after year?
