Proceeding contribution from Andy Slaughter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on Local Government Finance.
Local Government Finance
My right hon. Friend mentioned Sure Start. Conservative Hammersmith and Fulham council has cut the Sure Start budget by more than 45% in one year. Perhaps its councillors did not hear the Minister saying there should be no cuts in front-line services. I thought that all Members recognised that Sure Start is an initiative that in the long run will improve educational achievement and cut youth offending, and that it is therefore a good and efficient investment, yet almost 50% of its budget has been cut in one year by this authority.
