Clause 99
Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill
10:45 am

I have a brief point to make on the use of fixed penalty receipts. The notes to the clause say that the local authority must
“have regard to the desirability of using the money”
to tackle the nuisances caused by contravention of byelaws. If the Bill is devolutionary, why should we tell local authorities what to do with fine money?
