Proceeding contribution from Claire O'Neill (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 March 2011. It occurred during Estimates day on Sure Start Children's Centres.

Sure Start Children's Centres

First, may I apologise for joining the debate late? I was attending a Justice Committee meeting. I agree with the hon. Gentleman about the need for these centres, but Wiltshire has had a 25% cut in its revenue support grant yet not a single centre is closing—and no library is closing either, so why is Liverpool choosing to shut its centres? This is a matter for the local council, not central Government.
