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

I understand the position that the hon. Gentleman is taking towards the potential submission of a proposal on unitary status. The criteria against which we judge proposals are clearly set out. One is that the proposal must command a broad cross-section of support. The others are that it must not put upward pressure on council tax, that it must deliver real value-for-money savings, that it must be able to be met from the council’s own resources, and that it must offer strong leadership and deliver for local people.
