Clause 21 - Accounting practices
Local Government Bill
3:30 pm
Mr Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Cotswold, Conservative)
The Minister is making the best case for the two subsections to be reversed, in that the statute would be modified by a subsequent code issued by the Secretary of State. Is he saying that practices may change? If so, surely he would want a power to modify the practice under statute by a subsequent code. Can the Minister give me a further explanation?
