Proceeding contribution from Julian Lewis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 April 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Members' Home Addresses.


Members' Home Addresses

Well, it's not just that he's a nutter. In May 1999, Scriven was elected unopposed as one of half a dozen members of the parish council at Hyde in New Forest, West, the constituency in which he lives. Although he was elected for a four-year term, he lasted just six months as a parish councillor. During that time, he attended only four of the first nine meetings and resigned at the tenth—which was his fifth—after constant disagreements with his colleagues. The same happened when he was "elected", again unopposed, to Ringwood town council in 2006 and put on the planning committee. He attended his first council meeting on 26 July, but resigned from the planning committee on 25 October, only three months later, after a blazing row with the other members. In April 2007, the mayor of Ringwood announced, with some relief, that Scriven would be stepping down from the council completely.
