Regional Assemblies (Preparations) Bill
4:30 pm
Mr Matthew Green (Ludlow, Liberal Democrat)
I listened carefully to the hon. Gentleman's remarks about the two classes of member. We now have experience of that through the Welsh Assembly and the Scottish Parliament. Conservative Members, in particular, have a great deal of experience, since virtually all their Members in Scotland and Wales are top-up Members. Will the hon. Gentleman talk to them to find out whether they have been able to dominate the news agenda owing to the time that they have on their hands with no constituencies to look after?
