Proceeding contribution from Simon Wright (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Local Government Bill [Lords].


Local Government Bill [Lords]

What is the hon. Gentleman's assessment of the savings that would be produced by reducing the number of councillors? He said early in his speech that that was one of the main savings. I ask that particularly as the shadow boards that were set up paid considerable salaries to councillors who were already earning a council allowance.
