Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hanham (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 14 July 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Local Government Bill [HL].


Local Government Bill [HL]

As I said, there has been a barrage of questions about Norwich today. Councils will be required, first, to be transparent and, secondly, to co-operate and co-ordinate with other parts of local government. Parliament will not be able to do anything if, as the noble Baroness suggests, there is a block between Norwich and Norfolk. However, I do not believe that that can be the situation. My advice is to get in touch with Norfolk and make sure that you all work together and co-operate. This is not a matter for Parliament.
