Proceeding contribution from Lord Pickles (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 February 2011. It occurred during Debate on Local Government Finance.
Local Government Finance
We have done three significant things. First, we moved the relative needs threshold to 83% from 73%, which makes a considerable difference and is far more than the Labour Government ever offered poorer communities. We then divided up authorities based on their level of funding, from the most dependent on grant to the least dependent, and ensured that the most dependent received smaller cuts. Then we managed to find an additional transitional amount to ensure that no authority loses more than 8.9%. I will have a further announcement to make about that.
