Clause 69
Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [Lords]
5:00 pm
Julia Goldsworthy (Falmouth and Camborne, Liberal Democrat)
I wonder whether the right hon. Member for Greenwich and Woolwich has got things the wrong way round. The previous clause requires leaders’ boards to be established and gives the Secretary of State the right not to go ahead with them. Whether or not they are established is within the gift of the Secretary of State, not the local authority.
