Tom Pursglove Excerpts

Tuesday 16th January 2018 Commons Chamber

[Elizabeth Truss]

We have given councils the power to raise more funds in the draft local government finance settlement, but councils also need to look at how they can become more efficient, share back offices and use modern technology.

[Tom Pursglove (Corby) (Con)]

[Mr Hammond]

We will give consideration to my hon. Friend’s suggestion.
