Clause 21 - Accounting practices
Local Government Bill
3:30 pm
Mr Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Cotswold, Conservative)
The Minister's explanation was reasonable as is subsection (2)(a). It is reasonable to say that that enactment could be changed by regulations. Why on earth one would want a code of conduct that would conflict with that I do not know. Therefore, subsection (3) does not make much sense. However, unless my hon. Friends are minded to do otherwise, I will not suggest that they vote against clause stand part.
