Proceeding contribution from Baroness Andrews (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 26 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL].


Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL]

I know the pain that the redistribution formula causes. Essex is a relatively wealthy local authority, but there are much poorer local authorities with poorer resources where this will be a welcome addition to what they have to do by way of a duty. We are committed to measuring the success of all the new policies in this legislation. We said in the RIA that we would be reviewing the impact within three years of the implementation date and I am sure that noble Lords will watch that carefully.
