The same open questionnaire also showed that 57 per cent of respondents in Christchurch opposed the proposal. In the local advisory poll that Christchurch undertook in November and December 2017, 84 per cent of a 54 per cent turnout opposed the proposal – equivalent to 45 per cent of the electorate.</p><p>In Christchurch, in January 2017 eight councillors supported the proposal, and in January 2018 eight councillors made representations in support of the proposal.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 12/03/2018 17:46:09 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
