Clause 23 - ''Local authority''
Local Government Bill
3:30 pm
Mr Derek Conway (Old Bexley and Sidcup, Conservative)
Order. I do not know why, but afternoon Committees, regardless of the Bill that they are considering, are always slightly noisier than morning Committees. Perhaps that is because of the length of the day, but if hon. Members want to have
protracted conversations with one another, they might withdraw to the Corridor, rather than conducting them in the Room.
