Proceeding contribution from Keith Simpson (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]

On a very important point, I failed to catch the eye of the hon. Member for Derby North (Chris Williamson), but he gave the impression that there was a sharp distinction between the poverty-stricken urban deprivation of Norwich and the wealthy rest of Norfolk. I do not think that he has ever been there. That, of course, is the problem. Labour has no MPs in the area: the nearest one is in Luton. The people of King's Lynn, Great Yarmouth and Thetford would be amazed at such a caricature.
