Given there are 11 Tories they knew exactly the result of their actions.</p> <p>Also, the excuse given that they walked out as they don't have the chair of any Committee is wrong - there is a Conservative chair of the Health and Public Services Committee.</p> <p>These people are below contempt. </p> Wilmington's Cow on "Tory London Assembly members walk out." http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4665#post-49564 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 14:48:41 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 49564@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That. Is. Ridiculous.</p> <p>They are voted in to represent the people of their ward! </p> DaveC on "Tory London Assembly members walk out." http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4665#post-49561 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 14:33:42 +0000 DaveC 49561@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://snipelondon.com/scoop/tory-assembly-members-walkout-before-debate-on-cyclist-deaths" rel="nofollow">http://snipelondon.com/scoop/tory-assembly-members-walkout-before-debate-on-cyclist-deaths</a></p> <p>"Conservative London Assembly Members today prevented a debate about the recent spate of cyclist deaths on London’s roads after they staged a walkout at City Hall"</p> <p>I can't beleive there is no course for redress of the members deriliction of duty. If I was to walk out during an important meeting at work I would face formal disipline, written warning.</p> <p>Here are their names:</p> <p>Cllr Tony Arbour<br /> Gareth Bacon<br /> Richard Barnes<br /> Andrew Boff<br /> Victoria Borwick<br /> James Cleverly<br /> Cllr Brian Coleman<br /> Roger Evans<br /> Kit Malthouse<br /> Steve O'Connell<br /> Richard Tracey </p> <p>They should be feeling very ashamed of themselves. </p>
