Description
Report on Labour’s local government conference on rate capping. Party leader Neil Kinnock expresses support for the Lambeth and Liverpool left-wingers, but opposition to their policy of confrontation. Environment spokesman Jack Cunningham talks about granting a general power of competence to local authorities, and Graham Norwood, Deputy Leader of Lambeth Council, says it is wrong that those councillors who upheld Labour Party policy should now face the loss of their livelihood. Female reporter not identified.
