Product Information

Excerpt from London County Council Election, 1907, Vol. 2: Facts and Arguments for Municipal Reform Speakers and Candidates The Moderate Party on the Council have throughout consistently recognised the pressing importance of an effective control over, and a proper co-ordination of, expenditure. The following is briefly the history of this important question: - Financial Control as advocated by the Moderate Party. The vast and unprecedented growth of London Municipal expenditure in recent years renders it necessary to inquire whether our existing municipal system provides sufficient safe guards for ecomical administration. For the purpose in view, it will be useful to examine the methods by which the London County Council has sought to control its expenditure. The Council came into existence in 1889. At once differences arose as to the powers of the Finance Committee over the estimates of the various spending committees. The question came to a head on July 7th, 1891, when Lord Lingen, the Chairman of the Finance Committee, boldly advanced the doctrine that the expenditure of the Council was to be strictly subject to the control of the Finance Committee. The ble lord contended that the position of the Finance Committee was strictly analogous to the position of the Treasury in Parliament, as the Local Government Act required every county council from time to time to appoint a finance committee to regulate and control the finance of the county.
