Proceeding contribution from Julia Goldsworthy (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 February 2010. It occurred during Legislative debate on Local Government Finance.


Local Government Finance

I shall be coming to that point later, but basically the Conservative proposals would have the effect of disproportionately benefiting the people in the best position. They would make it more unfair. There are Conservative-run and Conservative-led councils, such as my own, that are unable to deliver the council tax freeze that their national party is asking them to. Those proposals would perpetuate those unfairnesses and could result in the system being even more centralised.
