Community Charge Capping Of Gloucestershire

EDM number 185 in 1992-93, proposed by Nigel Jones on 04/06/1992.

That this House is concerned at the effects of community capping on the people of Gloucestershire, namely the sacking of up to 200 teachers, leading to larger class sizes and a lowering of educational standards and the holding vacant of up to 15 police posts in the county with a 237 per cent. increase in crime since 1979; further notes that Gloucestershire is one of the lowest spending education authorities per pupil/student and has only fallen into the capping net due to its long record of low spending and under-provision; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to take into account the above factors in re-examining the need for the capping of Gloucestershire County Council.

This motion has been signed by a total of 11 MPs.
