Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on Local Government Finance.
Local Government Finance
I know that the hon. Gentleman has a long history in local government and will be aware of the old council tax resource equalisation, which took into account the needs of different councils and gave a level playing field. Does he agree that what we have now is a system that redistributes resources from poorer areas to richer areas? Even worse than that, it gets poorer areas to pay for it under the new damping system.
