Bonner and Wiggin's view of the reeducation of Alan Greenspan is decidedly uncharitable: They think he had it right in the first place, contending that the end result of our government's debasing of the dollar and Americans' irrational consumerism can only end in total disaster.

One of the major advantages of the Bill, although it is not explicitly stated, is that if we can set ambitious targets to be reached in the next 10 to 15 years, that will motivate local authorities to innovate in other areas as well.
That is why the Bill is worthy of support by the House, in Committee and ultimately by the Government, through enactment and proper funding, to ensure that we reach the targets and that the hon.
There are several reservations about the Bill, in particular, that its introduction may challenge the autonomy of local government and the need to resist further prescriptions from central Government without additional resources, and I hope that the Government will respond to that.

The Chairman, was deputed to meet Bill Wiggin on his arrival and invite him to take the first ball of the match.
However, a pitch inspection by Bill Blatchford (Master of Mowers and Member of the Umpires Union) two days before the game was due to be played, deemed it unfit and said that he would lay three tons of sand on it and organise Mike Connop to bring his vibrating heavy roller to flatten it.

Q950 Mr Wiggin: This is quite an important point because you also release birds into the wild that perhaps have been damaged by a road accident, and the issue of abandonment is perhaps a grey area in this Bill.
