Proceeding contribution from Andrew Pelling (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 February 2010. It occurred during Legislative debate on Local Government Finance.


Local Government Finance

The Secretary of State is clearly hitting the target as regards the Conservative party's rather soft position on those issues, but, nevertheless, are not his comments a real comment themselves on the relationship between central and local government? This Government have not released local government to pursue its own financial affairs. The fact that national parties are talking about advertising in specific councils shows that local government is still far too dependent for its finances on national Government.
