REFORMS GIVE CORNWALL LESS POWERS?Andrew George MP’s reaction to Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s announcement on constitutional reform yesterday: “There is much to welcome in this statement. It will obviously mean more to parliamentarians and parliamentary trainspotters than normal human beings but I hope that the benefits of some of the proposed changes will be felt more widely in years to come. “However, the proposal to create so-called ‘regional’ select committees, though seductive sounding, could be disastrous for places like Cornwall. It would homogenize Cornwall out of existence; which is what the creation of these Government zones has done so far anyway. “Of course unelected Assemblies, Agencies and Quangos should be open to more scrutiny then they currently experience, but that would be better done by abolishing some of them (and saving the money) and then bringing others under the control of a democratically elected body in Cornwall. Giving some MPs partial scrutiny powers would only give the pretence that Government zones have regional identities the false legitimacy they don’t deserve.” |
