Business question from Nicholas Winterton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 March 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

My Macclesfield constituency has a substantial rural area, including hill country. May I support the request made by the hon. Member for Somerton and Frome (Mr. Heath) for a debate on the rural economy and the report of the Rural Advocate? Rural areas are suffering tremendously from the closure of shops and schools, very little public transport and the withdrawal of post office facilities, and this is critical to large areas of the country. May we have a debate on it, please?
