Proceeding contribution from Lord Beith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill..


Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill

I am grateful to the Minister; I am sorry, but I was detained outside the Chamber for a moment. I just want to say that decisions about the creation of parish councils in unparished places are becoming urgent because of reorganisation—the fact that boroughs will be replaced by town councils. In that context, I hope that the Minister will manage to get off his desk the application for there to be a Berwick town council; it has been with the Department for some time. One of his predecessors had hoped to sign it off before leaving office, but that has not yet happened. Lords amendment agreed to. Lords amendments Nos. 108 to 138 agreed to.
