My Lords, I may have misunderstood, but regarding this business about local councils calling for referendums, I thought the Minister said previously that,

"following a request from a member, a referendum may not be held unless the full council has resolved that it be held".-[Hansard, 28/6/11; col. 1746.]

I therefore thought that we had moved on from that argument.
