Proceeding contribution from Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 February 2010. It occurred during Legislative debate on Local Government Finance.
Local Government Finance
My right hon. Friend mentions that councils are free to spend their money with fewer strings attached, but does he expect councils to take more responsibility? Does he have a view on Birmingham city council's inability to submit its accounts in such a way that the Audit Commission is able to sign them off? The council has had to waste £60,000 just to have the books re-audited to satisfy the Audit Commission.
