member task force to look at the effect of this <br />proposal and how it: would be implemented. Leeds: <br />"This Resolution has been carefully worded to take <br />care of the doubts that any of you might have as <br />to persuading the voters one way or the other. <br />Its an issue that c:an not be ignored and is an <br />issue that I think is appropriate for this Council <br />to take up.
