I must respond to the outrageous goading by the hon. Member for South Norfolk (Mr. Bacon), whom I would almost call my hon. Friend. The Conservative county group, which supported a unitary...

My hon. Friend's answer to the right hon. Member for Norwich, South (Mr. Clarke) was perfect. The reason why I put forward the case for having a constitutional convention was that I could see a...

The hon. Gentleman refers to the views of a commissioner from north-west London as tittle-tattle and innuendo. I shall tell him a bit more of what that commissioner says: "The result is ever...
