Clause 54
Greater London Authority Bill
3:30 pm
Andrew Pelling (Croydon Central, Conservative)
As the Bill will become law under the clause, I want to take this opportunity, at the invitation of the Minister during discussions on clause 17, when we were considering the ease of disposal of land by Transport for London, to ask what ease of disposal will be provided to the London Development Agency post-Olympics. The provision that has been given to TFL would be well provided to the LDA, in terms of disposing of land with a much-increased value after the Olympics. I am grateful to the Minister for his invitation to raise this point.
Jim Fitzpatrick (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department of Trade and Industry; Poplar and Canning Town, Labour)
Clause 54 sets out the short title of the Bill and provides for it, when enacted, and the Greater London Authority Act 1999 to be
“cited together as the Greater London Authority Acts 1999 and 2007.”
The clause determines the extent of the Bill, which does not extend to Scotland and Northern Ireland. It also sets out the date on which the Bill’s provisions come into force. Forgive me, but I cannot identify how the hon. Gentleman’s point is relevant to the clause or the clause stand part debate.
