Proceeding contribution from Paul Truswell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Local Transport Bill [Lords].
Local Transport Bill [Lords]
Is there not another problem with the proposal—that it may fall victim to what I might call the Thatcher test? When faced with selecting people, the right hon. Lady often used to ask, ““Are they one of us?”” It is one thing appointing ““one of us”” to any sort of authority, but it is quite another to give that person a vote.
