Moe correspondence from the public

Dear Sir,

I am an ardent NO supporter in the forthcoming referendum on the NE Assembly.
I am not surprised by the stupid revelation, by NESNO, that each household should receive a copy of the draft Assembly Bill.

After the rejection, by the Government, of Neil Herron (NEARA) in favour of the ‘johnny come lately’ NESNO chaired by John Elliott, I suspect that some of NESNO’s troops are perhaps YES campaigner’s in disguise, who like Saul on the road to Damascus will have a remarkable conversion, just before the ballot, to the Yes camp.

At the end of July I downloaded from the official government website the aforementioned draft Bill (free of charge, not the cost of £25.75 as quoted in the purple information booklet).
The website is as follows, and can be transferred to 5 floppy discs,or a recordable CD

www.official-documents.co.uk/document/cm62/6285/6285.pdf

(it is 236 pages long and 6.7mb).

for those without a computer on the internet, then all local libraries now have computers that can access the internet and just take the necessary discs with you for transferring the info.

I suggest Mr Eliott (NESNO) you identify the person(s) who thought up this nonsense. As Neil Herron says there are only a few points that need explaining to the public, especially the fact that the majority of the Bill refers to the legal establishment of Regional Development Agencies and Consortiums by the Assembly (these are quangos to be paid for by the local taxpayers in the NE region instead of Central Govt. but will nevertheless be under the ultimate control of Central Government)
