Clause 2 - Control of borrowing
Local Government Bill
2:30 pm
Mr Edward Davey (Kingston and Surbiton, Liberal Democrat)
Will the hon. Gentleman speculate on whether clause 6 will be overridden by clause 2(2)? Clause 6 provides protection for lenders, who can take their local authority to court. If the Government do not exercise their power under clause 2(2), would the national economic limit imposed by the Government still be overridden by the protection offered to lenders by clause 6?
