Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL]

Question
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they consulted Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland Ministers about Clause 16 of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill; if so, whether any written responses were received; and, if so, whether they will place such responses in the Library of the House.
Answer

Clause 16 of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill does not extend to Scotland or Northern Ireland.

A copy of both documents will be placed in the House Library.
