Proceeding contribution from Andy Burnham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 February 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education Bill.


Education Bill

The Government say that they have given councils enough money, but they have also given them a list of 20 or more things that they have to fund from the same budget as that which pays for Sure Start. How does my local authority, which is getting a cut of some £160 per head from the Government, keep all its support and provision open while other councils in other parts of the country get cuts on nothing like that scale? It is deeply unfair, and it will take away crucial services in constituencies such as my hon. Friend's and mine.
