Proceeding contribution from Ruth Kelly (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

My hon. Friend raises an important point. The presumption will be that leaders are elected with a four-year mandate so that they are able to draw up a local strategy for the area and see it through, taking decisions as required, but if the leader of the council loses the confidence of the council, he or she will have to go.
