Proceeding contribution from Lord Hanningfield (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 February 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]

We have scrutiny, and we invite other members of local authorities to join us. We are talking about a different type of joint overview and scrutiny. That is what the LGA sees, and is why we have tabled this amendment. We need some clarity on that. People can be invited. Perhaps your officials know more about how the legislation stands. This amendment was promoted by the LGA because it needs the new status of joint scrutiny committees.
