become Member of Parlia­ ment for Ribble Valley I shall have to deal with only two local authorities, Ribble Valley and Pre­ ston. At present I have four — Burnley, Hynd- burn, Ribble Valley and Pendle. Last week I had a tele­


phone call from a gentle­ man in Glen View Road, Burnley (in the Clitheroe Division, strange as it may seem) who was com­ plaining, not for the first time, that the grass verges in Glen View Road were not being cut. For reason which I had


difficulty in understanding he thought it was going to cost me a lot of votes. I told him that he had better address his re­ marks to the county coun­ cil. I didn’t say that one thing was absolutely cer­ tain in a very uncertain world and that was that I would never again have to worry about the grass at

the top of Burnley. I can say in all sincerity


that the Clitheroe Consti­ tuency has been a lovely constituency to represent. The voters have kept me busy and I get plenty of phone calls when home at the weekend! But it speaks volumes for the courtesy and common- sense of people that I have never felt it was going to be necessary to go ex-directory. A lot of my colleagues have.


I remember years ago


being told that an MP is very unwise to live in his own constituency. Tommy rot! I do not think I could have survived the last few years living anywhere else. I am still surprised that


so many people ask me how often I get up from London. I come back


every weekend not, I.con­ fess, solely out of a sense of duty but in order to keep sane.


I had an unpleasant


time over Mr Papasoiu. Small comfort to be'told, as Gilly was the other day, that a bit of personal abuse is character-forming! When Mr Papasoiu first turned up in England he first told a story about having once been in prison for two months.


He later told a tale


about having served three, three - year sent­ ences, the last between 1978 and 1981, and the national Press chose to accept as gospel the second account and ac­ cused me of deporting him to Romania in the full knowledge that at the very best he would spend


the rest of his life behind bars.


A few weeks later Mr Papasoiu popped up in Au­


stria, bright-eyed and bushy- tailed and it now turns out that in 1980 and 1981 he was not in jail in


Romania but being' enter­ tained by the authorities in Austria and the Gov­ ernment of Italy both of whom had come to the same conclusion as we did in 1982 — that whatever Mr Papasoiu was he was certainly no refugee. I don’t suppose I shall get a word of apology from the newspapers concerned and must just hope that the experience has indeed been character-forming! At the Home Office I


have responsibility for what used to be called Race Relations and now is called. Community Rela­


tions; I could not put my hand on my heart and say that I am not race ' con­ scious. I have to say that I am very much aware of the fact that I am talking to someone of a different race, if such be the case. But something happened recently which made me wonder whether the at­ titudes of young people are not very different. ■My son James came


home and told me that he had knocked a man off his motor bike. Weeks later I asked him how he was getting on with the insur­ ance claim and in casual conversation he men­ tioned how nice and reasonable the rider of the bike had been. He said he was a bit wor­


ried as to whether he had spelled the name right on the insurance claim form. It was Asghar Ali. If I had had the same accident I would have gone home and said: “ I have just knocked a Pakistani off his motor bike.”
