In his letter from Parliament this week, Mr Dobbin, MP for Heywood and Middleton says - "The position of Mayor means that the incumbent has an extremely busy programme for 12 months full of engagements. The convention in Parliament is that the Speaker is unopposed for re-selection and I feel strongly that this should apply to the Mayor in local election years. This would have to be an agreement across the political parties but it is worth consideration."
Rochdale MP and Lib Dem Transport Spokesperson - Paul Rowen has accused the Prime Minister of being 'out of touch and misleading' in his reply to well over a 1.7 Million people, who a signed a petition on his Website against Road Pricing. Paul said, "The huge response from all walks of life has taken the Government by surprise. The petition was hugely popular in Greater Manchester where the debate has been handled particularly badly by Labour transport bosses. The rushed way that the idea was announced has led to a completely avoidable campaign that I am afraid has not helped ease congestion on our roads nor improved public transport."
