Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL]

Quite so. I am again grateful to the Minister for giving me a detailed response, but I am not sure that he answered my basic question: what are matters relevant to the district? Are they matters relevant to someone living in the district, either because they are wider matters that cover the whole area or because they specifically refer to the district? Is it essentially a geographical matter, or is it a matter that is thought to be relevant to a district because of the functions that a district council carries out, as opposed to the functions that everyone else carries out? In other words, if a member of the public is going to the district for this information, will they get the same information as far as it affects them and is relevant to them as if they went to the county? At the county, they could also access all the information for the rest of the county. For example, someone living in Skipton is not going to be interested in information that is relevant to Scarborough. They will be interested in information that is relevant to the whole of North Yorkshire and perhaps beyond, but the districts would be Craven and Ryedale, and there clearly would be a subset of the total information in the county. Is it a subset based on where you live, so that you can go to the headquarters of Craven District Council in Skipton and get all the information that you are likely to need because you live in that district? Is that the case?
