If I were to be MP then there are big questions, pluses and minus's to doing the local as well. Time consuming or staying in touch with Hyndburn and ordinary people. It has been done both ways in the past, this wouldn't be a first. Clearly the local role would be like the Mayors who receives a lot of latitude.
I did say anything I did do I would not wish to compensated for in anyway as MPs are already adequatly compensated.
PB is actually up for election and I believe if he has it his way he will stand on a local ballot paper for ST Andrews and general election for H&H. I do not know his intentions after that but I will hazard a guess he would like to do both to stay in touch.

Sorry Graham, when you said earlier about not taking allowances from HBC or LCC if elected MP I thought this was you indicating you would stay on. Is it that you haven't decided what you'd do yet? If so, do you think it would be wise to tell the electorate at some point so that it's clear to them what positions you would intend to hold?
I'm not sure if I understand what you mean about Peter. Are you saying he will stand in the district elections and general election? I'm confused when you say H&H, what's that?
