The Government has created Parliamentary Select Committees for the English Regions. It has forced this through Parliament. However it has so manipulated the rules for the make up of these Committees that they will always have a Labour majority - even for those regions where Labour is NOT the major party.
Liberal Democrats & Conservatives have therefore decided to refuse to nominate MPs for these Committees. So the Government has decreed that they will meet just with Labour MPs!
