Stewart Jackson MP, Peterborough voted against requiring the Secretary of State to satisfy himself the resources available to a local authority are sufficient to meet the needs of the local authority when considering if to make a revenue support grant payment to the authority.

The majority of MPs voted against requiring the Secretary of State to satisfy himself the resources available to a local authority are sufficient to meet the needs of the local authority when considering if to make a revenue support grant payment to the authority.

MPs were considering the Local Government Finance Bill[1]. The amendment rejected in this vote was:

  • Amendment 65, page 36, line 42, at end insert—
  • ‘(2A) In determining whether or not to pay a grant to any authority named above the Secretary of State must satisfy him or herself—
  • (a) that the resources available to any local authority (including payments made under Schedule 1 of this Act) are sufficient to meet the needs of the local authority, and
  • (b) that there has been no significant change in the circumstances of the local authority resulting in a substantial increase in demand for the authority’s services or for reductions in council tax.’.

If it had not been rejected this amendment would have added the above text to Schedule 2 (2)[2] of the Bill on the payment of a revenue support grant.
