Proceeding contribution from Chris Heaton-Harris (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 February 2011. It occurred during Debate on Local Government Finance.


Local Government Finance

The right hon. Lady suggests that cuts in executive pay constitute a mere pinprick in the savings required. Yet according to a press release from Hampshire county council that I received yesterday, the council expects to save some £7 million in executive pay in the current year. That is just shy of 20%—[Interruption.] Opposition Members suggest, in sedentary interventions, that £7 million in a single year may be an unlikely figure, and that may be so, but even if it is over three years—[Interruption.]
