Conservative — Thirsk and Malton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 February 2025

Debate

Local Government Finance

Contribution

Of course there are some needs around deprivation, but that is not the entirety. The major cost drivers for local authorities are the things that I outlined earlier: adult social care, special educational needs and temporary accommodation. There may be some crossover, but the reality is that simply basing that on deprivation will not work for all authorities; some will be worse off as a result of moving from need to deprivation.
