Local Government Finance Bill

Debate between John Robertson and George Howarth

Tuesday 24th January 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mr George Howarth]

My hon. Friend is developing an interesting argument.

[The Temporary Chair (John Robertson)]

Order. But one that has absolutely nothing to do with the Bill.

[Mr Howarth]

I wonder whether my hon. Friend is aware of the fact that there was a residents group in Liverpool that had a battle with the city council over the right to name the local streets. They lived in an area called Weller streets. They won the battle, and in homage to the city engineer who had said that they could not rename the streets, they named one Weller way.
