Proceeding contribution from Daniel Kawczynski (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 February 2008. It occurred during Legislative debate on Local Government.
Local Government
The Minister says that the Government rigorously followed the five criteria. One of those criteria was the support of the local people. He will know that in Shrewsbury we had a referendum of my constituents, and on what is a very technical matter more than 18,000 of them bothered to turn up and vote against a unitary authority. That represents almost 70 per cent. of those who voted. How can the Minister say he has followed the criterion of listening to the public when my constituents have voted overwhelmingly against these measures?
