Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 7 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.


Localism Bill

The Minister said that the Government were reducing the level of debt that local authorities would otherwise take on because of this policy by some £860 million. Does it follow that central government debt is correspondingly £860 million higher than it would otherwise have been, and how does that help deficit reduction?
