Proceeding contribution from Ronnie Campbell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Communities in Control.
Communities in Control
The Secretary of State has talked about local democracy, but I remind her what happened in Northumberland. We had a referendum on introducing a two-tier unitary authority, a proposal which gained about 57 per cent. of the vote. Unfortunately, the Department in which she was then a Minister forced a single unitary authority on us. Where is the democracy in that?
