In historic cities such as York a number of agencies have disrupted commerce and tourism for considerable periods. Will my hon. Friend assure the House that adequate funds will be provided for historic cities so that the continuous disruption of recent years caused by street works can be avoided? York's city council has sought to reduce that disruption as much as possible. It will be helped by this measure. However, we should be grateful for such an assurance from my hon. Friend at this important juncture in the passing of the Bill.

I can assure my hon. Friend that there will be appropriate funding for local authorities under the provisions of the Bill.

Question put and agreed to.
