Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 January 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Parish Councils (Planning).


Parish Councils (Planning)

As my hon. Friend said, I was a parish councillor from 1987 to 2003. He is waxing lyrical about the strengths of unitary authorities as replacements for the shire and district two-tier arrangement. Does he accept, however, that one of the weaknesses associated with that can be that there are unparished urban areas within district and borough council areas? Would not they be even worse off under a unitary arrangement when just rural parts of the area would be parished, while the urban parts would have no such local representation?
