The right hon. Gentleman is over-egging the case. Unlike ourselves, most people do not live in two local authority areas. Although we might represent areas that cover different schemes, provided that local authorities are consistent and clear, before long, people will know exactly what they are meant to do. Different local authorities will have different schemes, because they have entered into different contracts on different dates and so on. As long as residents are told and it is consistent, why does it matter if different authorities have different schemes?
