Clause 6
Local Democracy, Economic Developmentand Construction Bill [Lords]
5:00 pm
Julia Goldsworthy (Falmouth and Camborne, Liberal Democrat)
I can understand why it would not be appropriate to publish final guidance until the Bill has become an Act and is on the statute book, but I cannot understand why draft guidance, or even the terms of the consultation, might not be available. Surely that would have aided our understanding of exactly how the Government intend local councils to deliver on the responsibilities being imposed on them through the Bill.
