Debate

Local Elections

Contribution

I draw the House’s attention to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. I am a district councillor. This is such a shambles. We have a local government sector on its knees as a result of decisions made by the Conservatives and, now, the Labour party. So much time and resource has been put into these mayoral elections by local government and officers over the past year; staff and venues for polling stations have already been booked. Does the Minister have any idea how much money has been spent on this over the past 12 months?
