Proceeding contribution from John Healey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 February 2008. It occurred during Legislative debate on Local Government.

They were given weight in the context of making the judgment about whether there was a broad range of support sufficient to give us confidence that if we were to press ahead with implementing these reforms they would be likely to succeed.
