Proceeding contribution from James Gray (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 February 2008. It occurred during Legislative debate on Local Government.
Local Government
I intervene diffidently because I am halfway towards supporting the Minister's position and I perhaps take a different view from my Wiltshire colleagues on the subject. I am puzzled by one part of his argument. If he wants to show that the people of Wiltshire, as demonstrated by any body, are strongly in favour of the proposal, will he explain why the MORI poll showed that approximately 71 per cent. opposed it? All four district councils also opposed it. If someone supported it, will the Minister oblige the House by identifying them?
