Proceeding contribution from Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Greater London Authority Bill.

Greater London Authority Bill

The hon. Gentleman mentioned that he is a member of the GLA. He will no doubt have received a copy of the briefing from the chairman of the London assembly, Councillor Brian Coleman. Indeed, he may have written part of it. The briefing states:"““The London Assembly welcomes the Government’s stated intention to devolve more powers to the Mayor””" and"““welcomes key aspect of the Bill.””" The executive summary is congratulatory, or flattering, about the Bill. Is the hon. Gentleman comfortable with the decision that has been taken by colleagues on his Front Bench to vote against the Bill today?
