Proceeding contribution from Baroness Keeley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 May 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.


Localism Bill (ways and means)

Not wanting to become non-consensual at this early stage, I note that the Minister talks about limits on power, and we are still concerned about the Bill's 142 extra powers for the Secretary of State. I am puzzled why new clause 12 specifies only the powers in clause 5(1), because they are exactly the same as those in clause 5(2). If there is a concern about limiting the powers of the Secretary of State, it should apply to both subsections. I wonder whether the Minister might cover that point.
