Clause 4
Sustainable Communities Bill
10:30 am
Julia Goldsworthy (Shadow Chief Secretary To the Treasury, Treasury; Falmouth and Camborne, Liberal Democrat)
The Minister has made it clear that he is prepared to accept changing “may” to “shall” in proposed subsection (1) of the new clause. He has also made it clear that it is important that “may” remains in proposed subsection (4), and we agree on that. However, I still do not understand whether he is prepared to accept changing “may” to “shall” in proposed subsection (3). Would not that be appropriate in the merry month of May?
