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


Local Government Finance

My hon. Friend makes a good point. The reality is that the councils that planned ahead, knowing that reductions would take place, however draconian, are coping best. The councils that put their heads in the sand and said that it would never happen are being caught out. They are now being called to account. If councils have not planned ahead, they will suffer.
