The first I knew about this matter was not a letter from Ms Tucker saying, "Can we talk about restricting the number of Internet licences, the number of sporting licences?" or "Can we have discussion about how we deal with this social problem?".

As it turns out, there are a number of technical problems with what she is proposing to do.

I would say to Ms Tucker that she should practise what she preaches. If she wants to deal with this on a cooperative basis, then I would strongly urge her to come and talk to us about it and see whether we can work out some way of dealing sensibly with the problems she has raised.

Debate (on motion by Mr Berry ) adjourned.

MR HARGREAVES (11.43): I move:
