PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AT COUNCIL MEETINGS

That this House regrets the decision of Conservative-run Essex County Council, supported by UKIP councillors, not to allow members of the public to speak at meetings of the Council; agrees with Liberal Democrat, Labour and Green councillors that such provision should be made; and calls on the Government to bring forward legislative proposals to make it a requirement that all local authorities should have public question time sessions.
