Proceeding contribution from Julia Goldsworthy (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Friday, 15 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Sustainable Communities Bill.


Sustainable Communities Bill

The problem is that many of the powers that we want to devolve are held by a Minister or the Secretary of State. We cannot simply take those powers off them by revolution; there must be some degree of consent. That is why there is a need to co-operate with the Department—unless the hon. Gentleman is proposing revolution, of course.
