Proceeding contribution from Baroness Maddock (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 26 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL].
Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL]
I fear that the Minister’s comments have again prompted me to intervene. I think that he said that district councils are a vital part of local democracy, yet the Government’s previous legislation means that, in the whole of the north-eastern region, after 31 March there will be no district councils. I have long held the view that the Government do not have a very coherent approach to local government and local democracy, and that statement proves it.
