Proceeding contribution from John Healey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 February 2008. It occurred during Legislative debate on Local Government.


Local Government

May I finish this sentence? The distinctive and different thing about this process is that, unlike previous restructurings of local government, it is not prescribed from the centre, nor was its blueprint drawn up or designed from the centre. I say again that the starting point for the order before us was a proposal prepared and submitted by Wiltshire county council because it believes that it represents the best form of governance for the county in the future.
