Proceeding contribution from Chris Williamson (Labour) 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 know we have. I wanted to give the Minister another chance to answer the question. Were the Conservative Government wrong to create so many unitary councils in the 1990s, particularly when many were formed in the teeth of opposition from the county councils—[Interruption.] I can hear the Secretary of State saying, ““Don't bother, don't answer,”” but I would be grateful for a response. The Minister appears to believe that it was wrong for us to try to create unitary authorities in Exeter and Norwich, so were the Conservative Government wrong to create so many in the 1990s? It is a simple question—yes or no?
