Oral Answers to Questions

Bob Russell Excerpts

Thursday 21st October 2010 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

Order. If I am to accommodate a few more questions, they must be very brief, and so must the answers.

[Bob Russell (Colchester) (LD)]

Because it is both topical and urgent, I ask the Minister to refer back to question 5. Local authorities are not necessarily taking any notice of what the coalition Government Ministers are saying in their pronouncements, particularly in the case of officers at Colchester borough council. Will he therefore visit Myland parish council in Colchester to see the absurd proposals that are going forward there?

[Mr Pickles]

If we are organising trips around the country, the least I can do is come and see my hon. Friend in Colchester.
