Private Business: Broads Authority Bill (By Order) (7 May 2008)

“I am grateful to the Minister for giving way, although there is a danger of my going off on what is a hobbyhorse of mine. The principle is that a direct election should be held for the Broads Authority, but how it is done is a subject for a separate discussion. I always favour a fair voting system—unlike those who belong to the other two main parties here.”
