Local Government Funding — 28 Mar 2018 at 17:31
The majority of MPs voted to review local government funding, and to immediately provide more resources to local government.
The motion supported by the majority of MPs taking part in this vote was:
-
That this House
-
believes that local government has severely suffered as a result of almost eight years of brutal and devastating cuts;
-
notes with concern that the Institute for Fiscal Studies estimates that between 2010 and 2020 local government will have had direct funding cut by 79 per cent;
-
is concerned that the top ten most deprived councils in England are set to see cuts higher than the national average, with nine on course for cuts more than three times higher than the national average;
-
believes there is a risk that services and councils are reaching a financial breaking point;
-
calls on the Government to act on the warnings of the National Audit Office and initiate a review into the funding of local government to ensure that the sector has sustainable funding for the long term and to immediately provide more resources to prevent more authorities following Conservative-run Northamptonshire into effective bankruptcy; and
-
further calls on the Government to report to the House by Oral Statement and written report before 19 April 2018 on what steps it is taking to comply with this resolution.
