Helen Hayes
I am not going to give way during this very short summing-up. [Interruption.] I would say to him that listening to his impassioned pleas on behalf of inner-London boroughs does sound a little bit like the arsonist complaining that the fire brigade is not putting out the fire quickly enough. [Interruption.]
Helen Hayes
I urge the hon. Member to reflect with a bit of humility on what his party did to local government funding when it was in power.
