Proceeding contribution from Alison McGovern (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 January 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Library Services.
Library Services
The hon. Gentleman is making a compelling case for a good future for libraries, and I am pleased to hear about the changes that he has described. What impact does he feel the current financial settlement that local authorities are dealing with, including the speed and depth of the reduction in their funding, will have on the ability of people doing the job that he used to do—being a lead member on the local council for libraries—to deliver the type of vision that he is outlining?
