Clause 27
Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [Lords]
1:11 pm

David Curry (Skipton and Ripon, Conservative)
I shall make one important point. We are now dealing with references to freewomen and freemen. Should the term not simply be a freeperson, given the prevailing wisdom that now we have a chair, not a chairman, and we talk about persons, not men and women? Should the term not be a freeperson, or perhaps just a free?
