Clause 61 - Interpretation of Part 4
Local Government Bill
3:15 pm
Mr Christopher Leslie (Parliamentary Secretary, Cabinet Office; Shipley, Labour)
I understand the hon. Gentleman's point. It is interesting that unitary councils are referred to only in certain legislation. In clause 61, the definition of ''unitary county councils'' is clear. It does not include unitary authorities, but the other parts of the billing authority will, not least because billing authorities will be at that tier of local authority. Those matters are adequately covered.
Clause 61 deals at length with definitions of terms in part 4 and provisions about central list ratepayers. I commend the clause to the Committee.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 61 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
