Proceeding contribution from David Amess (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 June 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Coastal Towns.


Coastal Towns

I am greatly obliged to the Chairman, and we owe the hon. Gentleman a great debt of gratitude for coming up with the idea for this inquiry. Those of us who represent coastal resorts have tried for so long to persuade the Government of the real difficulties that such towns face. Select Committees are wonderful and independent, and they increasingly have more powers, and it gives those of us with coastal resorts in our constituencies great heart to be able to refer to such a report, but I am not holding my breath waiting for something to happen as a result of the debate.
