§ Q12. Mr. Hilton Dawson (Lancaster and Wyre)What plans he has to visit the Lancaster and Wyre constituency.
§ The Prime MinisterI have no current plans to do so.
§ Mr. DawsonI thank my right hon. Friend for that disappointing response. I commend to him the 175 square miles of the glorious Lancaster and Wyre constituency and assure him of an extremely warm welcome there because the constituency is prospering under the Labour Government. May I recommend that 1159 he visits the city of Lancaster after what I imagine will be a successful referendum on an elected assembly for the north-west of England? He could then see for himself Lancaster's historical, cultural, geographical, scientific and technological claims to be the city at the heart of the north-west.
§ The Prime MinisterMy hon. Friend's comments are a great encouragement to change my plans and to visit as soon as possible.
