Proceeding contribution from John Denham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 February 2010. It occurred during Legislative debate on Local Government Finance.


Local Government Finance

The hon. Gentleman might have welcomed the extra £20 million in all grants that his local authority will receive next year. The fact is that over several years there has been a process of devolving power to local government, of reducing ring-fencing and targets and of transferring responsibilities to local government—and we will continue to make progress in that direction. I shall say more about that in a moment.
