Proceeding contribution from Lord Pickles (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Local Government Finance.
Local Government Finance
I am grateful to my hon. Friend. This move goes hand in hand with increased transparency, because, by the end of January, every local authority will have to produce online all expenditure of more than £500 for close scrutiny by the electorate. If authorities are not cutting senior management but are instead taking out front-line services, it will not be me to whom they will be accountable but their electorate. I believe that this settlement will ensure that the trend towards a reduction in the centre and the protection of front-line services will be accelerated.
