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

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 October 2024

Debate

Local Authority Funding

Contribution

Any decisions related to the Budget will be taken at the appropriate time, as will any decisions on the local government finance settlement. What I can say, though, is that this is a new partnership from this Government: we are not locking local government out, but standing shoulder to shoulder with it. Only last week at the Local Government Association conference in Harrogate, the Secretary of State launched the leaders’ council, a forum where central and local government will reset that relationship.
