Oral Answers to Questions

David Nuttall Excerpts

Monday 2nd February 2015 Commons Chamber

[Kris Hopkins]

Those sound like more wise words from Jeremy Clarkson.

Last year the council was presented with a significant petition against the proposal. Only 27% of residents believe that they can manage with a monthly rubbish collection. The hon. Lady is right: we have poor Labour leadership in Wales nationally, and we clearly have very poor Labour leadership locally in Cardiff.

[Mr David Nuttall (Bury North) (Con)]

What advice would my hon. Friend give residents in Bury, where, without any consultation and despite overwhelming opposition, the Labour-run council has already reduced the frequency of the black bin collection not from weekly to fortnightly, but from fortnightly to three-weekly?

[Kris Hopkins]

My clear advice would be to vote Conservative in the forthcoming elections.
