Without the cast-iron commitment to parish England from top to bottom, we risk making perhaps one quarter of our population second-class citizens, including by far the majority of Redditch. From start to finish, the Bill has been mis-sold. It is not about empowerment that any reasonable person would recognise but about the wholesale disempowerment of entire communities in the most historic corners of our country. I commend Motion F1 to the House.
