Proceeding contribution from Keith Simpson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Norfolk, Suffolk and Devon (Local Government).


Norfolk, Suffolk and Devon (Local Government)

The Minister is generous to give way. She mentioned a point that I raised about whether the advice that the Secretary of State received, which obviously contradicted the advice given by the permanent secretary, can be put into the public domain. This is the centre of the debate: the permanent secretary believes that the Secretary of State's proposals do not meet the fundamental criteria. In his letter, the Secretary of State talks about advice that he has received. Can we see what that advice was?
