Proceeding contribution from Lord Grocott (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 17 January 2012. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Local Authorities (Conduct of Referendums) (England) Regulations 2012.


Local Authorities (Conduct of Referendums) (England) Regulations 2012

I find it very difficult to make careful distinctions on that front. Uniquely in a business—politics—where ego occasionally intrudes, those two manage it far more effectively than most of the rest of us. I do not intend to say anything more at the moment because the opportunity will come in the orders establishing the mayoral referendums in the various cities. However, I would like the Minister to remind us, if not immediately, what the turnout has been in previous referendums.
