Local Government Funding

Debate between Luciana Berger and Robert Neill

Monday 6th December 2010 Commons Chamber

[Luciana Berger]

The figures have been arrived at from the comprehensive spending review, which is freely available to everyone in the House.

[Robert Neill]

It’s not the same thing.

[Luciana Berger]

I can hear comments from the Minister, and if he would like to say that it is not true, I will give way to him.

[Robert Neill]

I do not often intervene when time is short, but if the hon. Lady is competing to make the most cliché-ridden speech yet heard in the debate, she might at least have the decency to accept that she is citing figures that have no verification at the moment. She shames her argument by the cynical way in which she makes it.

[Luciana Berger]

Will the Minister therefore reject the analysis of many organisations, including SIGOMA and the Library?
