Proceeding contribution from Christopher Chope (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 12 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Local Authorities (Overview and Scrutiny) Bill.


Local Authorities (Overview and Scrutiny) Bill

It is true that there is no reference to borough councils, except London borough councils. Colloquially, people often talk about "the borough council". For example, they talk about Christchurch borough council, but in strict parlance, Christchurch council is a district council, rather than a borough council.
