Proceeding contribution from Viscount Thurso (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 June 2010. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Constitution and Home Affairs.


Constitution and Home Affairs

I am delighted to hear that my right hon. Friend is not bound by any strict and rigid arithmetical formula, and I applaud his commitment to more equality. Within that, does he accept that the quality of service that one can give with a constituency of 3,400 square miles is dependent on the time available, which is greater in metropolitan constituencies where travel is not such an issue? Will he ensure that that aspect of rurality is taken into account in any plans that the Government have?
