Proceeding contribution from Lord Smith of Leigh (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL].
Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL]
My Lords, that is true. However, although there are two Labour members and one Liberal Democrat member in Greater Manchester we ensure that we also represent the two Conservative councils in the area, because we have a collective view on the issues that we raise. If we want the bodies to be effective, as the noble Lord’s amendment seeks, we also need to think about their size.
