Proceeding contribution from Lord Darling of Roulanish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pre-Budget Report and Comprehensive Spending Review.

Pre-Budget Report and Comprehensive Spending Review

I agree with the right hon. Gentleman. It is important to ensure that social services are properly funded. In my statement I announced a number of measures to help elderly people in particular, and also those with disabilities. We have increased the amount of money going to local government. It is obviously for individual councils to decide how they allocate that money. I believe that we have provided resources, through the health service and local government, to enable councils and others to make improvements to provide the care that we all want to see.
