Clause 59 - Crown application
Local Government Bill
Public Bill Committees, 6 February 2003, 3:15 pm
Mr Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Cotswold, Conservative)
Before the Committee adjourned before lunch, someone—I think it was my hon. Friend the Member for Poole—rather mischievously asked whether Her Majesty would be subject to these provisions. The purpose of rising on this clause is to find out whether the Crown in the name of Her Majesty is bound by the clause and, if so, whether one of her properties could become part of a BID, in which case she would have a vote. Perhaps the Minister will give us the answer.
