Business question from Geraldine Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 July 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
One of the reasons why people in the north-east of England did not support regional government was that they did not wish to see an extra layer of politicians. However, there is a need for more regional accountability, especially with so many quangos in operation. Will my right hon. Friend consider the idea—perhaps over the summer—of having Grand Committees of the regions or perhaps regional questions, or both?
