Proceeding contribution from Christopher Chope (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 April 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Sustainable Communities Act 2007 (Amendment) Bill.
Sustainable Communities Act 2007 (Amendment) Bill
Parish councils are probably the perfect example of democracy in local government because they have to raise all the money they spend from local people and account for it. Would the Minister accept that the proposed new section 5C goes much wider than giving a power to include parish councils? It states that any""other persons who represent the interests of local authorities as the Secretary of State thinks fit"" could be defined as local authorities, but it does not state that they have to be elected.
