Proceeding contribution from Philip Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 December 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on London Local Authorities Bill [Lords].


London Local Authorities Bill [Lords]

I totally agree with my hon. Friend. It is not only unreasonable but totally and utterly ridiculous. Can he offer any suggestion at all as to why the Bill and the clause specifically pick on secretaries? I can imagine that if someone was particularly illiberal, as the people promoting the Bill appear to be, they might want to pick on directors and managers—I can see why they would be the obvious target for people who wanted to go down this illiberal route—but can my hon. Friend think of any reason whatsoever why anybody would reasonably want to attack secretaries in particular?
