Proceeding contribution from Hazel Blears (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 February 2011. It occurred during Debate on Local Government Finance.
Local Government Finance
Let me take the Secretary of State back to his assertion that no council will lose more than 8.9% of its grant. Is he not completely ignoring the fact that the poorest authorities get area-based grant? Some 11% of my council's budget in Salford is ABG, because we are deprived and poor, and we need extra help. Slashing the area-based grant means that our cuts next year will be 15%, which is a massive amount in the first year.
