Proceeding contribution from Norman Lamb (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Broads Authority Bill (By Order).


Broads Authority Bill (By Order)

I completely agree with the point that the hon. Member for Rochford and Southend, East (James Duddridge) made; one would expect the elections to be entirely non-party political. That has been the experience in Scotland. I would like a clear indication of whether the Minister supports the principle of direct elections to the authority.
