Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Cookham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 March 2012. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
My hon. Friend may know that section 31 of the Local Government Act 2003 says that a Minister can make a grant to a local authority, but the definition of ““local authority”” excludes the body to which he has referred—the town council. If the bid is successful, I see no reason why the money should not be ““laundered””, if I may use that word, through the district council, which would be an intermediary between the Government and the town council. That may offer a way through.
