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
My hon. Friend is right. It is quite shocking that the Government have done this knowing what it will do, but at no time have they apologised, as they should, for the unfair way in which they have allocated these cuts, but it is time they did, because it is now clear that far from all of us being in it together, some are much more in it than others. This is not just about local authorities, because the same is true of funding for the fire service, which we are also discussing.
