Proceeding contribution from Lord Berkeley (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 20 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Severe Winter Weather.
Severe Winter Weather
My Lords, is the Minister aware that the local authorities are accusing the Government of profiteering on selling salt to them at a time when local authorities’ budgets are being severely cut and, certainly in some areas, local authorities are forced to salt roads only where there is a steep hill and not on the flat? How can the Government claim that the situation is under control when local authorities do not have the money to buy salt or to spread it?
