London’s Economy

I shall not reprise the comments of the Friend the Member for North-West Leicestershire (David Taylor), but I agree with everything that the hon. Member for Hendon (Mr. Dismore) has said so far. However, is there not also an issue—he may want to develop this—that London’s power is becoming almost overwhelming? In many ways, it is something of a city state within the UK, which I suspect is an issue that might be in the minds of his hon. Friends from other parts of the country. Could he explore that, as well as doing the right thing by the bankers of NW4 and the lawyers and accountants of NW7, who make up an important part of his constituency?
