Proceeding contribution from Lord Bellingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Broads Authority Bill (By Order).
Broads Authority Bill (By Order)
My hon. Friend makes an important point. Although the area that we are considering has a population of roughly only 5,000 people, it covers many parishes. Furthermore, we are for ever trying to persuade people to stand for parish councils. Far too many are not properly contested. We want to take parish councillors seriously and give them more to do. We now have an ideal opportunity to take them seriously and give them a small amount of representation on an important body.
