Clause 12 - Power to invest
Local Government Bill
10:30 am

Mr Christopher Leslie (Parliamentary Secretary, Cabinet Office; Shipley, Labour)
I could never understand the confusion that enters into the hon. Gentleman's mind. I know what ''invest'' means and I believe that most people of a rational disposition do. I cannot necessarily vouch for the hon. Gentleman, but I hope that the clause is self-explanatory. It should stand part of the Bill.
