Local Government Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from John Healey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 May 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Local Government Finance Bill.

The Minister mentions the seven technical notes. Dozens and dozens of pages about how the Government are going to approach this were released on the working day before Report and Third Reading in this House, and three and a half months after this House finished

its Committee stage. Does the Minister accept that to anyone outside this House it looks as though, at every stage, this Government are going out of their way to avoid people being able to take a proper look at this and to avoid this House being able to do its job of scrutinising this Bill properly? We will be leaving too much to the other House to do.
