Proceeding contribution from Ruth Kelly (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill.

Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill

Of course we listened to the view of people in the north-east, but surely the right hon. Gentleman would agree that the £19 million that it costs to run the regional assemblies is money well spent. Voluntary bodies administer hundreds of millions of pounds largely on behalf of local authorities: they plan regionally, they spend for local authorities, they are often led by local authority leaders and 60 per cent. of the members are from local authorities.
