Message | * The Rt Hon Karen Clark, HM Secretary of State for the Home Department, rises: Mr Speaker, While we are VERY suportive of Article III, we simply cannot allow the other proposals to pass. |

Message | Mr Speaker, Article 1 is a step in the right direction, and we strongly support Article 2 as it gives more of a say to local people over the running of their councils. We find Article 3 rather anomalous in democratic terms, but despite our objection to it, we will support the Bill as a whole. Arthur Smith (General Secretary of Her Majesty's Loyal Trade Unionists) |
