	John Bright - LoveToKnow 1911
		Two agitations were then going on in Rochdale - the first (in which Jacob Bright was a leader) in opposition to a local church rate, and the second for parliamentary reform, by which Rochdale successfully claimed to have a member allotted to it under the Reform Bill.
		He was one of the founders of the Rochdale Literary and Philosophical Society, took a leading part in its debates, and on returning from a holiday journey in the East, gave the society a lecture on his travels.
		In the new parliament he voted against the Home Rule Bill, and it was generally felt that in the election of 1886 which followed its defeat, when he was re-elected without opposition, his letters told with fatal effect against the Home Rule Liberals.

		Although she was not Rochdale born and bred, she showed in her five years as our Member of Parliament that one could have an impact nationally and locally as a new Member of Parliament.
		Rochdale has a rich tapestry, whether in textiles, in which I am proud to be a skilled labourer--I did a degree in textiles and followed in my father's footsteps as he worked in the mills--or in brass bands.
		The people of Rochdale have journeyed to the practical conclusion that they therefore need a successful partnership with the private sector; that has not been easy for some of them, but they have been courageous and know that all solutions must be considered.

		Friend that the blind people from my constituency who visited Parliament yesterday, with their guide dogs, are extremely grateful to him for introducing this Bill, and they expect the House to ensure that it has a speedy passage.
		My constituents complain that existing regulations are not enforced, so we need to ensure that the police, trading standards and council officials realise the importance of enforcing regulations introduced under the Bill, and that people selling fireworks to children or letting off fireworks in the street are prosecuted.
		Gentleman said, I imagine that his constituent was in the middle of the road when somebody threw a firework in the street.

	George Jacob Holyoake: 'The Rochdale Pioneers' (1)
		Rochdale, in the County of Lancaster," made up its mind that a capital of £1,000 must be raised for the establishment of the Store.
		The Rochdale co-operators understand them very well—they met them—bore with them—worked with them—worked in spite of them—looked upon them as the accidents of progress, gave them a pleasant word and a merry smile, and passed on before them; they answered them not by word but by act, as Diogenes refuted Zeno.
		The slowness of the Rochdale movement for two or three years may be attributed to the want of confidence in any scheme originating among the working classes for the amelioration of their condition.

		In laying the draft before Parliament and the public, the Government will be accountable for their actions, with all those interested parties knowing what they can expect to happen under these new practices.
		Parliament can reasonably expect to be informed on a regular basis of how the system is operating, what is working and what needs to be changed.
		Member for Rochdale voted to hear from it, and I assume that the Minister’s point of order means that he regrets the action that he and his colleagues took last week.

	Sally Clark: Parliament 24 Feb 04
		It was her case that brought forward the appeals of others and led to the series of events that we are discussing today.
		In one of the cases in my constituency, many decades of historical evidence were sadly available, which meant that the expert was not needed.
		Let us not-especially not as a Parliament that has seen the publication of the most important Green Paper, "Every Child Matters"-lose sight of the fact that it is our job to ensure that children are protected everywhere by everybody.

		The UK, however, believed that for a just and lasting solution, the views of the people living in Kashmir should dialogue between India and Pakistan to seek a solution to the problem.
		It also reflects that the UK Government's policy on Kashmir is based on the age-old friendship between the two countries and is not dictated by the 'constituency pressures' of a few Members of Parliament.

	Firework Safety - British Parliament 20th November 1996
		The previous one was on 1 November 1995, and perhaps it is appropriate that this one takes place after 5 November, because there may be a tendency for views to be heightened and emotional when constituents are expressing concern in the run-up to bonfire night and for the emotion to fade away in the aftermath.
		I spoke to trading standards officers in Oldham and Rochdale only an hour ago and they said that, against their will, they had made no effort to prevent the sale of fireworks by shops to children under 16, but had referred the matter to the police.
		As my constituent said, that may be difficult because we have to consider religious groups that celebrate at different times of the year.
