Proceeding contribution from Denis MacShane (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Local Government Finance.


Local Government Finance

The verdict on this policy will be delivered next May and in May 2012, and I fear that the Secretary of State has just written the Götterdämmerung of Conservative councillors over the next four or five years. In Rotherham, there are literally hundreds of voluntary organisations relying on just a small helping hand from local government of a few hundred or few thousand pounds—not big money. May I ask him to pay particular attention to that to ensure that the voluntary sector does not go under as a result of the settlement?
