Proceeding contribution from Ruth Kelly (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 October 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Local Government White Paper.


Local Government White Paper

The hon. Gentleman has clearly not read the comments of his local government colleagues and has failed to recognise the cross-party support within local government for the proposals I have set out today. He mentions Northamptonshire, but he well knows that the county has received above-inflation, real-terms increases in funding over the past nine years. In addition, my hon. Friend the Minister for Local Government has been discussing the position with the council and I am sure that those discussions will continue.
