Clause 29
Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [Lords]
1:15 pm
David Curry (Skipton and Ripon, Conservative)
Before Report, I wonder whether the Minister could give us a list of the number of people in one county who are councillors on a different council. I wonder whether it is a real or a mythical problem. I cannot think of a single person in North Yorkshire, in the whole time that I have represented it, who has been an employee of one authority and a councillor in another. People cannot leave their political allegiance behind when they go in and out of the relative town hall.
