Jeremy Corbyn: Is the Leader of the House aware that last week 15 local authorities in England were unable to set a rate for the forthcoming financial year because of the rate-capping legislation that was forced through the House and the damage that that legislation and the cuts it will impose would do to those communities, one of which is the borough I represent in the House? Is the right hon. Gentleman...

Jeremy Corbyn: Does not the Leader of the House think that there should be an urgent debate about the position facing rate-capped authorities, and that the Secretary of State for the Environment, as he is apparently not prepared to talk to the representatives of rate-capped authorities, should explain to the House why the Government have selected the poorest inner city areas for vindictive action to destroy...
Jeremy Corbyn: As East Anglia is a low-wage economy, has this been reflected in the last few years on the rate of unemployment? Does my hon. Friend believe the Government's argument that lower wages create jobs?
