Labour (Co-op) — Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 March 2025

Debate

Local Government Funding

Contribution

The hon. Gentleman and all Members of the House have our absolute commitment that when we revise the funding formula, we will ensure that it takes into account all the matters he mentions. The multi-year settlement is intended to give stability. We have to make sure that councils are on their feet at the end of that. We recognise entirely that deprivation is a driver of cost, but so is the cost of rural service delivery.
