Proceeding contribution from Greg Hands (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 November 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Population Growth (Local Government Finance).
Population Growth (Local Government Finance)
I realise that time is short, but I want to take the Minister back to a point that he made earlier. He said that funding settlements can be altered only in exceptional circumstances. I appreciate what he is saying about the stability provided by projecting forward, which was certainly welcome for local authority finance in many areas, but surely 300,000 to 400,000 people unexpectedly arriving in this country, predominantly in a few local authorities, qualify as exceptional circumstances.
