Proceeding contribution from Toby Perkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.


Localism Bill

On the basis of what the hon. Member for Plymouth, Sutton and Devonport (Oliver Colvile) has just said, is it not surprising that a council such as Dorset should have a rise this year, when most councils in the most deprived areas have seen massive cuts? If the problem is a lack of money, why is it that the authorities that are most able to bear that burden are the ones that are better off under this Government?
