I remember that well. My only caveat is that the biggest employer in my constituency is a biscuit factory and its manager is very good.
I would like to talk about the situation in the north-west and Cumbria. I must say from the outset that we have had too many reorganisations, so I hope that we get this one right. I was a young member of a city council back in 1972 when the ambulance service was part of the local authority, but I do not know whether Conservative Members advocate going back to that situation. Of course, the service was then taken into the health authority, but we must have had eight or nine serious reorganisations since then. I agree that reform is needed because last time it happened in our area, it was not done very well.
