Proceeding contribution from Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.


Localism Bill

To be honest, I do not know what options were offered, but a large percentage of the population turned out to vote and the vast majority of those made their opinion known and were ignored. Whether we agree with that decision is academic. The fact is that people had their say and were ignored.
