Proceeding contribution from Charles Clarke (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 March 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Local Government (Devon, Norfolk and Suffolk).


Local Government (Devon, Norfolk and Suffolk)

My intervention follows the hon. Gentleman's answer to the hon. Member for Colchester (Bob Russell). The hon. Member for Bromley and Chislehurst (Robert Neill) stated that the Conservative Opposition, if they were in government, would never impose unitary government. Did I understand that right? Is he saying that if the Conservatives were in government and any district council opposed unitary status, there would never be unitary status? Would there never be any new unitary authorities if the Conservatives were in government?
