That this House recognises and celebrates the success of Ron Bailey in helping steer over 25 different pieces of legislation through Parliament over the last 23 years, including such important new Acts as the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985, the Home Energy Conservation Act 1996, the Road Traffic Reduction Act 1997, the Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Act 2006 and the Sustainable Communities Act 2007; congratulates him for his sheer doggedness in overcoming the resistance of Governments, civil servants and belligerent backbenchers; and wishes him every success in the future as he searches out ever more unsuspecting hon. Members to encourage them to put their name to his future legislative attempts.
