Proceeding contribution from Gregg McClymont (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Severe Winter Weather.


Severe Winter Weather

My constituents are now enduring their 23rd successive day of arctic weather. Schooling has been disrupted, the economy impacted and elderly and vulnerable constituents have effectively been imprisoned in their own homes for more than three weeks. Owing to the exceptional weather, North Lanarkshire council requested military assistance, but it was denied. Will the Secretary of State tell me now, or find out on my behalf, who took the decision to deny military assistance, and on what grounds?
