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)
For three reasons. First, as I said, it will be a new council—that is important—all-out elected in 2011, with new chief officers and a new situation. Secondly, I believe that there will be genuine economies in various areas as a result of a unitary authority with services working together. Thirdly, the performance of the city council over recent years has been improving significantly from a very bad position, as the hon. Gentleman and others have rightly identified. The case for unitaries is powerful.
