Proceeding contribution from Christopher Chope (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 29 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Canterbury City Council Bill.


Canterbury City Council Bill [Lords] (By Order)

My right hon. Friend is right. He is a very experienced scrutineer of this type of measure, and he knows as well as other Members that as soon as we have general legislation that gives very wide powers, there is, almost as night follows day, a temptation for the people who have those powers to seek to exercise them to their widest possible extent.
