Proceeding contribution from James Clappison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 November 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Fire Services (Hertfordshire).


Fire Services (Hertfordshire)

The Minister is right in the figures that he has used about the floor. However, they reflect the fact that Hertfordshire county council suffered a redistribution of funds away from it through the Government’s original mechanism, which distributed greater funds to other parts of the country. Hertfordshire county council was left on the floor, which is a protective mechanism. Local residents are still feeling the effects of that decision, about which the Government were warned at the time.
