Proceeding contribution from Bob Blackman (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.
Localism Bill
My hon. Friend is making a powerful case in favour of referendums. He referred to overwhelming turnouts in favour of a proposition. However, the proposal before us contains no safeguard for such a referendum, and there could be a binding referendum on a very small turnout. How would he deal with that problem?
