REGIONAL ASSEMBLIES (no.3)

Early day motion 86, tabled 26 November 2003 by Bernard Jenkin (Conservative). Signed by 43 members.

That this House believes that a referendum on regional government for Yorkshire and the Humber is 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.

Signatures by party: Conservative 42, Independent Conservative 1.
