Carlisle City Council

EDM number 1993 in 2005-06, proposed by Eric Martlew on 19/04/2006.

That this House expresses great concern over the poor management of the financial accounts of Carlisle City Council and the lack of political leadership by the Conservative-controlled group; urges that transparency in governance be adopted and that all necessary steps be taken to enable the district auditor to sign off the accounts; fears that the poor management of the Council's finances will adversely affect the reputation of Carlisle City Council; acknowledges that the political leadership of the Council has not taken appropriate actions to address this problem; and calls on the Leader of the Council to accept fully the district auditor's justified criticism of the failing of his administration in addition to accepting full responsibility for the situation.

This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs.
