Proceeding contribution from Hilary Benn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on Local Government Finance.
Local Government Finance

The reason it is happening—the Minister was remarkably reluctant to admit the truth—is that councils in deprived urban areas rely to a much greater extent than councils in more affluent areas on central grants from the Treasury, which have been cut significantly.
