Proceeding contribution from Baroness Teather (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Manchester City Council Bill [Lords](By Order).
Manchester City Council Bill [Lords](By Order)
The Minister says that it is unclear whether we need national legislation, and I agree that a uniform piece of national legislation giving all councils these powers immediately may not be what is required. However, enabling councils to adopt the powers by means of secondary legislation—a byelaw, for example—would allow local decision making while also maintaining a transparent framework.
