Proceeding contribution from Bill Esterson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 July 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Academies Bill [Lords].


Academies Bill [Lords]

I will not get any more time if I give way, so I am not going to. Meanwhile, as Barnet Tory council made savage cuts to schools and the rest of the public sector, its members voted for a £20,000 a year increase in the allowances for Tory cabinet members. They declared that poverty was an emotive word and that all people needed was aspiration. Barnet is the ““easycouncil””—the no-frills council—except when it comes to its Tory cabinet members.
