Coalition has no appetite for babies
By Bradley Rogers - 30th June 2010
Dr John Pugh, the Lib Dem MP for Southport gave this reaction to a point from shadow CLG secretary John Denham during the debate on the Local Government Bill yesterday.
"I rise to say a few words in the interests of fairness, because the right hon. Gentleman obviously thinks that, apart from eating babies, there is very little the coalition does not do. Can he tell us which of the £40 billion of unallocated cuts the Labour party was likely to implement were going to fall on local government? That would be a transparent, open, rational and reasonable thing to do."
