Proceeding contribution from Hazel Blears (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Communities in Control.
Communities in Control
I should be delighted to visit my hon. Friend's area to discuss what action can be taken on those very serious matters. The White Paper's ideas on petitioning and calling for action from councillors will increase local people's ability to force matters to be debated in public and to secure a proper response. They will empower her local community in a way that is markedly different from what happens at present.
