Proceeding contribution from Patrick Hall (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 October 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

This morning, the all-party group on town centre management met to discuss the ““State of the English Cities”” report with its lead author, Professor Michael Parkinson. The consensus that emerged was that the case of cities and towns would be much advanced by a system of strategic unitary councils. Will my right hon. Friend give positive consideration to allowing a debate in the House on the local government White Paper, so that we can properly scrutinise those important matters?
