Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hanham (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 13 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Local Government: Finance.


Local Government: Finance

I do not agree with that. I think that we all have an aspiration to see the big society. We all want to see communities working with each other; we want to see charitable and voluntary organisations working better and doing more; and we want to see neighbourhoods and communities getting together to help each other. Therefore, I do not accept what the noble Lord says. I think that this philosophy will work with a reduction in resources because it will gain in momentum.
