Keighley: a 'breakaway bill' is going before Parliament
KEIGHLEY MP Robbie Moore will present his new 'breakaway bill' to Parliament tomorrow (December 7).
He is scheduled to speak in support of his Local Authority Boundaries (Referendums) Bill shortly after Prime Minister's Questions.
The speech will be live streamed on his Facebook page.
Mr Moore says if the bill is passed, it would enable a referendum to be held on whether Keighley and Shipley should leave the control of Labour-run Bradford Council.
He and fellow Conservative MP Philip Davies, of neighbouring Shipley, have long campaigned for the two constituencies to form a new unitary local authority.
