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


Local Government Finance

Does my hon. Friend agree that the comments, remarks and challenges coming from Government Members reveal a complete lack of understanding of the nature of a city like Manchester? Manchester is a world leading city. It is founded on two things—first, a strong partnership with the private sector and secondly, over recent years, having the money to invest in the communities that need it. Does my hon. Friend share my concern that their ignorance and arrogance mean that the progress that we made is put at risk?
