 | Dr.Liam Fox : The hon. Gentleman should ask the voters of Paisley, Govan and Monklands what they think about the calibre of the local government that they have. They will tell him that it is rotten to the core: almost nobody in those areas does not know someone who could not get a job because he did not know a member of the Labour council, or could not get a house because he did not know someone on the housing committee...[Interruption.] Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Michael J. Martin): Order. The House must calm down, and I must point out to the hon. Member for Woodspring (Dr. Fox) that we are not having a debate about local government. Hansard, 13 th January 1998. |  |
