Proceeding contribution from Earl Cathcart (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 30 June 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Localism Bill.


Localism Bill

My Lords, I may have misunderstood, but regarding this business about local councils calling for referendums, I thought the Minister said previously that, "““following a request from a member, a referendum may not be held unless the full council has resolved that it be held””.—[Official Report, 28/6/11; col. 1746.]" I therefore thought that we had moved on from that argument.
