Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 April 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Housing (Southwark).
Housing (Southwark)
The tradition that local authority spend counts against the public sector borrowing requirement is an accounting requirement. Many countries do not count local authority spend or borrowing in that way and the Government could change the requirement if they wanted to. I know that the Treasury has resisted that, but if it were changed, it would not be the issue that it has been.
