EMERGENCY REVENUE SUPPORT GRANT FOR EAST SUSSEX

Early day motion 321, tabled 17 December 2003 by Lord Barker of Battle (Conservative). Signed by 37 members.

That this House condemns the Government's decision to award East Sussex County Council only ú4,590 in emergency revenue support grant; deplores the serious effect this will have on East Sussex pensioners and low income families, who have been penalised by the Government significantly underfunding the county for the second year running; and requests that the Minister of State with responsibility for local and regional government meets with a delegation from East Sussex at the earliest possible opportunity.
