Proceeding contribution from Chris Williamson (Labour) 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]

I urge the hon. Gentleman to look at the impact assessment. He is right that the cost of implementing unitary status in Norwich and Exeter is around £40 million, but the savings over that same period work out at £39.4 million, so the net cost of implementation is only £600,000, and there is an additional, ongoing saving of £6.5 million per annum.
