Proceeding contribution from Eric Forth (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 10 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill.
Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill
No. If authorities are so lacking in diligence not to do so, they must answer to their voters. I am serving the voters of my constituency by asking questions on their behalf. My view of local government is that councillors are elected representatives in their own right. They make their own decisions, which I honour and respect, as I respect them to honour and respect mine. That is a view to which I have held throughout my time in the House, and I will continue to maintain it. Shortly, I will ask some questions about what local authorities can or cannot do. That will apply to all local authorities.
