Proceeding contribution from Brandon Lewis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Local Government Bill [Lords].
Local Government Bill [Lords]
I will leave the hon. Gentleman alone after this intervention, if I possibly can. He makes the point that it is for the Secretary of State to make a judgment and I entirely agree. Surely, therefore, the Secretary of State should take notice of the opinions of the people who said no, the local authorities who all—bar one, surprisingly—said no, the House of Lords, which showed concern, the permanent secretary, who also showed concern, and the Boundary Commission, which said no. After he has taken note, the Secretary of State should then also say no.
