Clause 5 - Referendums: frequency
Regional Assemblies (Preparations) Bill
11:00 am
Mr Jim Knight (South Dorset, Labour)
I want the hon. Gentleman to explain how that would work. Is he suggesting that there would be a referendum on the principle of regional assemblies in the whole of England and that if that were successful, if individual regions wanted to go for a regional assembly, second referendums would be held region by region? Would that not be a waste of everyone's time?
