Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hollis of Heigham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 14 July 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Local Government Bill [HL].
Local Government Bill [HL]
But we should be talking about the net costs. It is not fair to talk about costs without talking about the offsetting savings. Nobody in any balance sheet would do that. I respectfully urge the Minister to give the Committee a clear indication of net costs, not gross costs—or, if she is going to talk about gross costs, also to talk about the savings.
