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 once again makes a powerful case for referendums, but the point is that although the trigger for instigating a referendum would be 20% of the electorate, there would be no safeguard when it came to the voting. The turnout could be as low as 5% or 10%, but the result would still bind a local authority.
