Proceeding contribution from Nick Raynsford (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)

The Minister is putting the completely absurd proposition to the House that the local authority will be under a duty to publicise a code of conduct that it may decide not to have. Will he please recognise that that is nonsense? Abolishing the requirement for a code of conduct in every local authority in the country is a serious, retrograde step, of which the Government should be profoundly ashamed.
