Proceeding contribution from Lord Howarth of Newport (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]
The noble Baroness is entitled to her view. If the Government, who could do so, will not restore order to the chaos that the court has left behind, will they at least pay the costs which CLG policy has imposed on Norwich and Exeter? They are authorities with very small budgets—so small that they cannot afford to appeal against the judicial review—and the Government are driving them into deeper poverty by their decision to freeze council tax.
