Alert me about debates like this

The Sunday Times, another non-Marxist organ, said that the Government by legislating clear transport subsidy powers for councils, could show that it genuinely respects the principle of democratic local government. The Government would be saved much future trouble if they took over the Bill. I am sure that they could improve the drafting and I should be only too pleased if they would do so. When the majority of hon. Members, Sir Peter Masefield, the users and employees of London Transport, the Financial Times, The Sunday Timesand the GLC are all agreed, they surely cannot be wrong.
