OPPOSITION DAY (8th allotted day)
|
[Until 10.00 pm]
|
|
| |
DISTRIBUTION AND EFFECTS OF CHANGES TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT FUNDING
|
|
|
|
| |
That this House notes with concern that local councils will lose, on average, 27 per cent. of their funding over the next
four years, compared to 11 per cent., on average, for Whitehall departments; regrets the frontloading of reductions in funding
which means that the heaviest cuts will fall in the first year; believes that the unexpected severity of the cuts will result
in substantial job losses in the public and private sector, undermine the voluntary sector and hit frontline services; regrets
the inadequate level of capitalisation available to local councils to deal with redundancy costs of up to £2 billion; further
notes the commitment in the coalition agreement to ensure that fairness is at the heart of decisions and that those most in
need are protected; is disappointed that the most deprived areas will be hit hardest by the reductions in funding; and calls
on the Government to revise its proposals before making the provisional finance settlement to ensure that any reductions in
funding are more evenly spread over four years and do not fall disproportionately on the most deprived communities.
|
|
|
Debate may continue until 10.00 pm.
|
The selection of the matters to be debated this day has been made by the Leader of the Opposition (Standing Order No. 14(2)).
