Proceeding contribution from Chris Leslie (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.
Localism Bill
The Secretary of State advocated the power of general competence as a means of increasing the freedoms of local authorities. However, clause 5(3) states:"““The Secretary of State may by order make provision preventing local authorities from doing, in exercise of the general power, anything which is specified, or is of a description specified, in the order.””" Does that not completely negate the supposed freedoms?
