Proceeding contribution from Charles Clarke (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 February 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Unitary Authorities.
Unitary Authorities
Does the hon. Gentleman accept that I have received many representations from businesses, citizens and constituents in my constituency who argue strongly in favour of unitary authority status? [Interruption.] I am sorry, but I did not catch that intervention. Serious business people have seen the argument in favour of a unitary system for cost reasons, because it will be far cheaper, far more effective and far more democratic than the current two-tier system.
