REFORM OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT (613A1)
The Early day motion has received an amendment sponsored by David Clelland (primary, Labour) and tabled on Tuesday, 19 March 1991. It has been signed by 19 members in total.
leave out from 'House' to end and add 'regrets that in desperation Tory honourable Members are seeking a reform of local government and the centralisation of local services not for better efficiency, accountability or wider democracy, not for the sake of security for the old or opportunity for the young, but as a result of Her Majesty's Government's catastrophic incompetence in introducing a poll tax against all advice to the contrary'.
