Mr Speaker
Colleagues may feel that, when it comes to Opposition Back Benchers, I have left the best until last.
Diana Johnson
Thank you, Mr Speaker.
On 9 August, the Hull Daily Mail led with the following report:
“Yesterday the Prime Minister…said A & E departments would get a share of the money over the next two years, to ensure they are fully prepared for winter.”
On 10 September, I learned that Hull will not get a penny of the £250 million set aside for this winter. May we have a debate on why Hull, despite its real needs, is not getting a fair share of funding—it applies to council funding, too—from this Government?
