Clause 49 - BID Revenue Account
Local Government Bill
9:15 am
Mr Desmond Swayne (New Forest West, Conservative)
Subsection (4) states:
''The Secretary of State may by regulations make further provision in relation to the BID Revenue Account.''
Will the Under-Secretary tell us what sort of regulations will be made? I am still not clear in my own mind about the billing authority. Is it expected that each BID will set up its own such mechanism? Or will it typically be the case that the local authority will provide the billing authority function? In that case, the need for additional regulations would presumably be rather less than if the billing authority were to be created by the BID process itself.
