Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL]

They will not have to dismantle their schemes. We are putting a duty on councils to create a legal scheme in the way that is laid out in the Bill. They will have to have that petition scheme, with its requirement to respond, but they can go on using the schemes that presently exist if they so choose.
