Proceeding contribution from Hazel Blears (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Local Government Finance.


Local Government Finance

The Secretary of State says that he is being generous in putting £30 million of his departmental budget into local government. For a big man, that is pretty small beer. Does he accept the truth that the abolition of area-based grant means that the poorest places, especially in the north, will be worse off? In Salford, £3 million of area-based grant goes into tackling crime and disorder.
