REGIONAL ASSEMBLIES (PREPARATIONS) BILL

Early day motion 51A3, tabled 15 November 2002 by John Greenway (Conservative). Signed by 19 members.

Leave out from 'House' to end and add 'believes that a referendum on regional government for Yorkshire and the Humber would be a costly and unnecessary distraction from the real concerns of people throughout Yorkshire who want better public services and have no need for a new tier of politicians and bureaucrats who would make decisions more remote from the people not closer to them; and particularly decries the likely abolition of the North Yorkshire County Council which has an exemplary record of providing high quality services.'
