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.

Is the aim to reduce council tax as much as possible, whatever the cost, or to provide value for money? They are very different things and it seems that the primary motivation is purely headlines rather than providing services in the best interest of local residents.
