Proceeding contribution from Alison Seabeck (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 October 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Local Government White Paper.
Local Government White Paper
I welcome the White Paper and its focus on strengthening the role of local councillors and on strong local leadership. I note the proposals for four-year elected terms for leaders, executives and mayors. Has my right hon. Friend given consideration to the thorny issue of the failure of such individuals as a result of abuse or corruption? How do we ensure that public confidence is maintained in the leadership and how will political groups work with a leader who is there for four years if they have lost confidence in him or her?
