Comparison Between Conservative And Labour Councils

EDM number 375 in 1993-94, proposed by Eric Pickles on 18/01/1994.

That this House notes that Conservative councils have a record of which they can be proud, including the lowest council taxes, the most efficiently-run services, and the greatest value-for-money; notes that this is in complete contrast to Labour councils, seven of whom have been investigated and criticised by the District Auditor Service since 1990; further notes that Labour councils charge higher council taxes, offer poor value-for-money, and through their incompetence or worse, have wasted hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayers' money; and believes that the public interest demands the full exposure of the iniquities of Labour councils.

This motion has been signed by a total of 116 MPs, 6 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
