Proceeding contribution from Hazel Blears (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 November 2007. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Local Government and Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Debate on the Address.


Local Government and Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

Perhaps that just enables us to see what the priorities of Hammersmith and Fulham council are. We must put the governing back into local government. Local councils should not merely administer services, they should shape the future, build a foundation for aspiration and ambition and not wait for Whitehall to tell them what to do next.
