Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 February 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Budget Responsibility and National Audit Bill [Lords].
Budget Responsibility and National Audit Bill [Lords]
The Government have a serious political difficulty, to which the Justice Secretary referred over the weekend, giving rise to a considerable amount of publicity. All over the country, local authorities are loading cuts on to front-line services, yet we read today that scores of local authority executives earn more than the Prime Minister. What is the Minister's message to local authorities? Will she insist that they deliver real efficiency savings to avoid these cuts in front-line services, which are so politically damaging?
