Its called the Steel Commission. <br /><br />Community Rule is an interesting approach and if we can get some policy around it by Feb 2012 we might have something interesting to take to the Scottish electorate in the council elections in May.Douglas McLellanhttp://www.douglasmclellan.netnoreply@blogger.com
