Sustainable Communities Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 19 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Sustainable Communities Bill.
May I offer the hon. Gentleman a little advice? He should have read the Bill before the debate because a lot of his speech has nothing to do with it, and he is perhaps harming the cause. Has he shared my experience that where police authorities have set up community forums—there are some good ones in my constituency in Durham—attendance is very poor? The attendance is large only when there is a problem in the community. Does that not put a huge question mark over the idea that everyone is eager to attend meetings to discuss all these issues?
