Local Government Finance

Proceeding contribution from Nick Hurd (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on Local Government Finance.
I am grateful to the Minister for giving way; he has been extremely generous in taking interventions. The building schools for the future programme is a core Government programme. Hillingdon council tells me that as a direct consequence of its grant, £15 million of capital spend it would like to deploy to support the programme is at risk because the revenue grant has taken them through the floor. An element of borrowing that was supported is now unsupported. Is that joined-up government, and what guidance would the Minister give to authorities such as Hillingdon that are in that predicament?
