Local Government Finance — 3 Feb 2000

I beg to move,

That the Local Government Finance Report (England) 2000-01 (HC 160), which was laid before this House on 27th January, be approved.

That the Local Government Finance (England) Special Grant Report (No. 52) (HC 161), which was laid before this House on 27th January, be approved.

That the Local Government Finance Report (England) 1998-99: Amending Report 2000 (HC 162), which was laid before this House on 27th January, be approved.

The South Yorkshire force is penalised by the fact that it attends fewer fire calls than forces in other authorities, despite the fact that the authority has been trying to educate the public to call the service out less.

It being Seven o'clock, Mr. Deputy Speaker put the Question, pursuant to Order [28 January].

Question put: --

The House divided: Ayes 266, Noes 146.
