Local Government Finance

Debate between Derek Thomas and Lindsay Hoyle

Wednesday 22nd February 2017 Commons Chamber

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

Order. I do not think we will go down that path.

[Derek Thomas]

I welcome that intervention. My hon. Friend the Member for St Austell and Newquay (Steve Double) often refers to the fact that the Liberal Democrats talked about fairer funding for many years, but that it is only since 2015, when Cornwall elected all Conservative MPs, that we have really seen progress.
