That is extremely helpful, as I think my hon. Friend the Member for Ruislip-Northwood would agree. I suspect that colleagues elsewhere in the Committee would also agree that that fulfils their intentions. It may well be that the effect of providing for such a power is that the co-operation that the Minister thinks often does not apply will emerge, because business links or the people organising them might say to themselves, “It is not worth not doing what the local authority wants us to do because, if we don’t, the local authority will petition the Secretary of State for the ability to take it over.” That is precisely the dynamic that we wish to create—one that means that the local authority is, as the Minister puts it, first among equals.
