Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 February 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]
It is not a disgrace that I live in London; it is a great place. However, one has to remember that the proprieties and the way in which parish councillors work in and respond to their communities are very different. Their flexibility must not be reduced. The Minister referred to accountability. One does not challenge the issue of accountability, but I must remind her about the role that elections play in it. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 133 withdrawn. Amendment 133A not moved.
