Prospective Lib Dem Parliamentary Candidate for Totnes, Mike Treleaven took the opportunity during the visit of Joe Borg, European Fisheries Commissioners, to the constituency to call on the European Commission to institute a ban on pair trawling for bass, a fishing method commonly acknowledged to cause massive dolphin deaths.
At a recent County Council meeting, the Conservative majority on the County opposed the proposal by the Liberal Democrats that Surrey County Council youth centres should be more fully used to provide safe places for young people to meet.
The Dartmoor National Park Authority would do well to examine proposals by their colleagues in the Yorkshire Dales to restrict the sale of new and converted homes to locals.
John Prescott's proposals to ease the shortage of affordable housing will do little to help the people of South Devon. The few good ideas in his announcement will hardly scratch the surface of the problem.
Charles Kennedy MP has launched the Liberal Democrat's manifesto for women. Amongst the proposals are plans to introduce a fairer Citizen's Pension, a Maternity Income Guarantee, and free long-term care for the elderly, helping both those in need and their carers.
Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to speak on the very important issue of university top-up and tuition fees, which affects hundreds of thousands of young people around the country and, in many cases, their parents. It is of particular concern in my home city of Leicester. Its educational strength is a major attraction, and there are approximately 40,000 students at its two universities, Leicester and De Montfort, making up about 14 per cent. of the city's population. Since both universities are in my constituency, I have a large proportion of resident students, many of whom regularly share their concerns and, in many cases, their anger at the prospect of paying fees. I want to raise several of those concerns with the Minister.
