Clause 16 - ''Capital expenditure''
Local Government Bill
2:30 pm
Mr Derek Conway (Old Bexley and Sidcup, Conservative)
I am grateful to the hon. Member for that observation. The Hansard reporters, who serve us extraordinarily diligently and with great accuracy, are manning a number of Committees at the moment. This time of year is always difficult. I will ensure that the hon. Gentleman's observations are drawn to the attention of the Editor of the Official Report to see whether something can be done. Perhaps a draft could be made available, if not the final printed version. The point that the hon. Gentleman makes is clearly a reasonable one for the Official Report to consider.
