Proceeding contribution from Lord Hanningfield (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 9 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]

This is a simple amendment which follows on from some of the previous discussion and which has been promoted by the Local Government Association. The Minister will know from her work with LAs that it seems ridiculous in two-tier authorities not to involve district councils. I shall be referring later to the very successful Essex partnership involving the county and district councils, the health authorities, the police, and so on. We are doing the economic assessment together, so it would be ridiculous to rule out the district council as partners in the assessment. I beg to move.
