Proceeding contribution from Baroness Smith of Basildon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Assistance to Communities.


Assistance to Communities

It is difficult; the hon. Gentleman is right. How do we define social rather than political campaigning? Any campaign can be defined as political that seeks to make social change. However, I was trying to illustrate the fact that those who deliver services see what changes are required to deliver those services better, and it is right and proper that they should draw them to the attention of councillors or MPs who can effect change.
