There is no quango, considering that we are talking about 94% or 95% of the membership of two local authorities. However, I respect the views of the three councillors who took a different view. Regardless of whether one has examined the ins and outs of this, if almost 100% are going one way and from different party backgrounds, it is absolutely prudent to step back and deal with the matter in a new Bill. There is time to do so. We would all be anxious to facilitate any such development which would be viewed as a respectful approach, given the weight of opinion. I am happy to leave it at that.
